Fresh Water Decaf

About This Coffee

Fresh Water Decaf takes its name from Freshwater, Australia — a beach town that inspired both the vibe and the smooth, easygoing profile of this blend. Our decaf coffee is stripped of caffeine using a natural, sugarcane based process, known for keeping the coffee’s flavor sweet, smooth, and beautifully intact. First, the green (unroasted) beans are gently steamed to open their pores. Then, they’re washed in ethyl acetate, a naturally occurring compound derived from fermented sugarcane. This compound bonds with the caffeine and draws it out, without stripping away the sugars and oils that give coffee its body and flavor. After that, the beans are steamed again to remove any remaining traces of the compound, and then dried and rested before roasting. The result? A bold, balanced cup, chemical-free, full of character, and entirely buzz-free. We call it decaf, but you might just call it delicious!
