  • About El Paraiso Washed Decaf | Colombia

    This is an incredible coffee is back for 2024! Produced using a complex and very unique post harvest technique and then decaffeinated in Colombia using the Sugarcane method:

    1. Coffee was carefully hand harvested to select only very ripe cherry
    2. The coffee was fermented for 48 hours
    3. Coffee was pulped to remove the fruit
    4. The coffee with mucilage was fermented for an additional 48 hours
    5. Coffee was washed to remove mucilage
    6. Controlled drying using a mechanical de-humidifier
    7. Decaffeination by Sugarcane method

    This two stage fermentation process creates some incredible tasting notes that include cherry, raspberry, and rhubarb.

El Paraiso Washed Decaf

Took a punt with this. Was very difficult to grind finely enough for extraction on my SBP, so tried it in a cafetière as well. Similar sweet fruity notes and neither to my taste. Will stick with the safe med-dark roasts next time!

The best decaf I ever tried

Fruity and vibrant. No decaf taste. Top notch. Way better than regular decaf from this roaster.

One of the best decafs out there

It's been more than 5 years since I had to give up caffeine for health reasons and I have tried literally hundreds of decafs. I've only had 5-6 worth raving about (e.g. Angie Fernandez, Wilton Benitez decaf, Sebastian Ramirez) and this is one of them.
Properly fruity, no decaf aftertaste, makes a fantastic handbrew. Please keep trying to source more experimental decafs, Horsham. 🙌

Great coffee

I roast myself and always like to try other roasters coffee, I find decaff quite challenging to roast, this decaff is pretty decent and holds well with milk to if you add more beans to your preparation

Best Decaf

This is the best decaf coffee I’ve tried, and I’ve had DAK’s new decaf. Sweet, syrupy, rounded. Great on filter. Outstanding as an espresso.

Best decaf I’ve ever had

So I’ve had a lot of different decafs from specialty coffee roasters. This one is no doubt the most juiciest, sweetest and cleanest decafs I’ve had. I would say the decaf flavor is not prominent, it lingers slightly in the background and almost becomes a bit chocolaty in the mouthfeel. The rubarb and raspberry stands out. It is very juicy, I tried it as an espresso and filter and it works with everything.

Honestly, this decaf makes me want to cry. It is truly the finest I've ever found. Fruity, juicy, and refreshing.

Yes it is good

Thisbean delivers a lovely espresso but requires the finest grind Ive yet come across. O also great as a Mario filter drip

One of the most interesting decafs out there

Finding an experimental decaf is not an easy feat There is only a handful of options on the market and I often have to buy them from international roasters... Delighted to see Horsham offering this one. Delicious as a filter. Very fruity! A great choice if you're after more funky coffees.

Please keep roasting experimental decafs. Happy to pay extra for higher quality options.

Juicy!

This was my first ever fermented coffee as I only drink decaf and they are really rare. i'm so grateful to HCR for making this coffee. So interesting and delicious! I've never thought of the flavour of a coffee as juicy before, but this one really is!

Delicious coffee

I loved the caffeinated version of this coffee, and I was elated to see a decaf version of it on the website. It is just as delicious and I have bought a second bag from a local shop. I will be sad when it eventually disappears again.
