What to Expect
This is what modern decaf should be: all the flavour, none of the compromise. Roasted by Sanctuary Coffee in Huila, Colombia, this sugarcane-processed decaf delivers deep sweetness, a melted-chocolate body, and a juicy orange finish that reminds you what you're drinking is still very much coffee.
The Cup
The body is medium and round, with a silky, almost syrupy mouthfeel that carries the chocolate and golden syrup sweetness through the cup. Acidity is gentle but present—expect a soft, orange-like brightness rather than anything sharp or citric. The EA decaf process has done its job well here: the sweetness comes forward, the body feels full, and the origin character from Huila's high-altitude farms remains intact. Clean, approachable, and satisfying without any of the flatness that plagues lesser decafs.
Who This Is For
Perfect for anyone who wants great coffee without the caffeine—whether that's an evening cup, a second pot, or just a preference. If you've been disappointed by decaf before, this one will change your mind.
If you're chasing bright, complex, fruit-forward acidity, this won't deliver that. It's sweet and rounded, not sharp and sparkling.
Best for: Decaf drinkers who refuse to settle, and anyone after a smooth, chocolatey cup at any hour.
How to Brew This Coffee
The omni roast makes this flexible across methods. Try it as espresso—the sweetness and body shine through, and it pulls a classic, balanced shot without fuss. On filter, the orange brightness lifts and the golden syrup sweetness stays clear and present. Aeropress is a great middle ground, giving you control over body and clarity depending on your recipe—ideal for dialling in what you want from a decaf.

Ways to Brew
-
Espresso
An intense, concentrated brewing method that forces hot water through finely-ground coffee under high pressure. This produces a small, powerful shot with rich crema, serving as the foundation for countless coffee drinks while delivering bold flavors and aromatic complexity.
-
Filter
A filter coffee machine (or drip coffee maker) is an often electric kitchen appliance that brews coffee by heating water, passing it through ground coffee and a filter, and dripping the finished brew into a carafe.
-
Aeropress
An innovative, portable brewing device that uses air pressure to extract coffee quickly and efficiently. This versatile method allows for experimentation with brewing times and techniques, producing anything from espresso-style concentrates to smooth, full-flavored cups with remarkable consistency.
Sanctuary Coffee
Sanctuary Coffee was founded in 2021 by Marcus and Rhian, who set out to create a coffee company driven not only by quality and craft, but by a deeper social purpose. Inspired by the challenges faced by animal rescue organisations in the UK, they built the brand around the idea of using speciality coffee as a force for good, supporting rehoming charities and animal welfare initiatives alongside their roasting work. Starting in London with a small wholesale customer base and pop-up appearances across markets and collaborations, Sanctuary Coffee quickly gained recognition for both its coffee and its cause. As the business grew, it expanded beyond the capital, establishing a permanent home in Devon while continuing to evolve its production and wholesale operations. Today, Sanctuary Coffee balances high-quality roasting with a strong community ethos, using its growth to increase charitable impact and build a brand rooted in compassion, connection, and purpose.
