A Sensory Journey:

Experience the same coffee treated with three different decaffeination methods, and compare the flavor nuances with a traditional washed version. This is a rare chance to understand how various processes influence the final taste, even without caffeine.

The set includes 60g each of the following four coffees:

1. La Virgen (non-decaf): A clean, washed coffee showcasing the natural essence of Guadalupe’s terroir.
2. La Virgen – Swiss Water® Decaf: Decaffeinated using the Swiss Water® process, a gentle, chemical-free method that preserves the full flavor profile of the coffee.
3. La Virgen – Ethyl Acetate Decaf: Decaffeinated with natural ethyl acetate derived from sugarcane, offering a smooth and rich caffeine-free experience.
4. La Virgen – CO₂ Subcritical Decaf: An innovative technique using carbon dioxide to remove caffeine, maintaining the integrity and flavor of the original coffee.

Join a Global Coffee Tasting:

James Hoffmann invites you to a live online tasting on December 15, where you can explore the unique characteristics of each coffee and learn more about the different decaffeination methods. No prior knowledge is required—this is an opportunity to taste and learn together.

The Decaf Project is perfect for:

• Coffee enthusiasts looking to expand their knowledge of decaffeinated coffee.
• Anyone seeking a sophisticated and educational coffee experience.

The green coffee has arrived, and it is in the process of test roasting. The final roast date is yet to be determined, but orders will ship no later than Monday, December 9, for those who pre-order.

The Global Online Cupping is scheduled for Sunday, December 15, but you can also explore and compare the coffees at your own pace.
