Formally know as “A Flightless Bird” is our decaf offering that won't "give you wings" but will, give you plenty of flavours.

We have ground this coffee ready to be used for espresso - a simple and cost-effective way to add a high-quality decaf offering to your customers.

We have managed to create a coffee, that delivers tastes of chocolate nut alongside hints of stone fruit, yet it won't come with a caffeine kick. Perfect for those who crave a truly handcrafted, artisan coffee but have an aversion to caffeine.

This coffee is decaffeinated using the Natural Mountain Water Process at a purpose-built facility that's Rainforest Alliance, Fairtrade and Organic Certified.

This particular process uses a 100% chemical-free method that removes caffeine from the green coffee beans without damaging the beautiful flavour profile of the coffee.

The Mountain Water Decaffeination Process uses a solution of natural mountain water with added caffeine-free coffee solubles that are used at specific pressures and temperature to remove the caffeine from green coffee beans.


Step by Step:

Step 1 - The coffee is transported to a special, restricted area of the facility and analysed for caffeine content to determine the exact extraction that's required.

Step 2 - It's then added to the first stage tank and exposed to a jet of steam under specific conditions of temperature and pressure and left to swell in warm water to facilitate the caffeine extraction.

Step 3 - The Prepared coffee moves via a gravity-fed system and is immersed into a second stage tank that contains a solution of natural mountain water and caffeine-free coffee solubles. This solution along with the specific conditions removes the caffeine from the green coffee beans.

Step 4 - Next the newly Decaffeinated coffee is triple dried, polished and quality checked before being bagged up and sent off to be lovingly hand-roasted by our head roaster in Yorkshire.
