This decaffeinated Colombian coffee has excellent body and well-rounded flavor when roasted to our recommended roast of medium to dark. This bean takes heat well for a decaf coffee and will produce a bold cup with hints of chocolate and walnut when taken to a medium roast or darker.
Certifications: OU Kosher
Recommended Roast: Medium to Dark
100% Arabica coffee beans
Short on caffeine but long on flavor, Sugarcane* decaffeinated coffees (also known as EA Decaf or Natural Decaf) have a subtle sweet aroma thanks to the decaffeination process.
Fully caffeinated green coffee is steamed to remove the silver skin (the natural coating on coffee beans) and open the pores of the bean before it’s bathed in a fermented sugarcane compound called ethyl acetate that binds to and removes caffeine until the beans reach 97% decaffeination. After which, they’re dried and shipped to us. The ethyl acetate produced in the sugarcane process can also be found in pastries, fruit, and wine.
Our unroasted, green coffee bean selections are intended for home or commercial roasting. Do not attempt to grind, brew, or consume green coffee. Green coffee that has been roasted is not returnable.
*Sugarcane decaffeinated coffee does not contain sugar
This decaffeinated Colombian coffee offers a robust body and well-rounded flavor, particularly when roasted to medium to dark. Customers appreciate its bold taste with hints of chocolate and walnut. It is OU Kosher certified and recommended for home or commercial roasting.

Reviews
Perfect flavor and aroma!
"The best green decaf beans I have found. They roast with plenty of flavor and aroma, whether you like medium or dark. I haven't tried a light roast yet, but might have to just for fun! Photos are roasting, cooling, and the finished product, still awaiting off-gassing and a few more days rest for the flavor to fully mature."

Great, consistent brew
"I roast to first crack + about 30-60 seconds. Make espresso in a semiautomatic. This Colombian decaf is tasty and well rounded. I like a very robust coffee profile for a hibrid brew that’s half way between macchiato and cappuccino. It’s two shots with just less cream than a cap. These beans are great, consistent, and reasonable. I couldn’t take a star off because I like a crazy strong coffee profile that busts through the cream. That’s just the immigrant Italian in me! I’ve been a customer forever and love the people there if you should ever need them."

Unroasted Colombian sugarcane decaf
"There is no way to tell the difference between this decaf and regular Colombian coffee. . . it is just the best decaf I have ever had! Really like the sugarcane process. It leaves more flavor than the Swiss water process. Very easy to roast. I like to take it to a full city roast for a great cup of coffee."

Curious about the sugar cane processed decaf
"I roasted this accidentally to an 18% loss. Although it was darker than intended, it still had a good nutty flavor as an espresso. As a pour-over I was able to get a hint of that brown sugar but was overwhelmed by a smoky flavor. It’s a good bean and I’ll try it a little lighter in roast next time."

Decaf does not have to be nasty!
"I recently purchased Green Colombian Decaf coffee beans, and I’m thoroughly impressed with both the quality and the packaging. Unlike other vendors that ship in flimsy ziplock bags, these beans arrived in a well-sealed, sturdy package that maintained their freshness. Roasting them in my Behmor 1600 was a breeze. I stopped the roast right at the beginning of the second crack, and the results were fantastic. The coffee has a smooth, satisfying mouthfeel with rich notes of dark chocolate and a subtle hint of smokiness. What really stands out is the depth of flavor—there’s no burnt taste, and most importantly, no unpleasant decaf aftertaste. If you’re looking for a high-quality decaf that roasts well and delivers a full-bodied, flavorful cup, I highly recommend giving these beans a try!"

Self roast
"I roast my beans until I see hints of oil and stop. They are consistent. I really love Monsoon but the price is not where I will buy it."
— Roy B. (4/5)
What’s Not To Like?!
"Rich, pleasant flavor- You wouldn’t even really know it’s decaf."
— Edward W. (5/5)
Happy coffee drinker
"Decaf has good body and flavor. Have done some roasting at home with the unroasted and that is fun- I mix and match some of the different coffees also on occasion- also good. Coffee is fresh and aromatic. Prices are good and discounts and perks very helpful!"
— Susan M. (5/5)
Consistently great coffee!
"I order decaf unroasted beans from Freshroasted.com, and every time I do I get a consistently good bean, full of flavor and body, no matter light or dark roast."
— Mark J. (5/5)
A very good decaf
"I drink a halfcaf blend and the Columbian Sugarcane Processed decaf has the right taste. A little woodsy, light sweetness, chocolate, nice fragrance, rich taste with no bitterness and a good value."
