Decadent Decaf Coffee Company

Guy Wilmot, along with Richard, Greg, and Laura, founded Decadent Decaf in Littlehampton, West Sussex, around 2015 with a pointed thesis: decaffeinated coffee can taste exceptional if you start with the right beans and refuse to cut corners on process. The company works exclusively with the Swiss Water Process, a fully chemical free method that removes 99.9 percent of caffeine. Father and son team Richard and Greg handle the roasting on an old fashioned Probat gas roaster, keeping batches small and consistent. Rather than rotating origins frequently, Decadent Decaf maintains its core lineup year round to avoid stale transitional stock. The operation claims to be both the world's first dedicated decaf coffee company and Europe's first single origin Swiss Water Decaf roaster.
