Stitch Coffee
Popayan Decaf Coffee
This exquisite decaf coffee gives you the keys to your caffeine-free dream life with its chocolate, caramel, and buttery notes. Produced by selected farms in Colombia's Popayan region, it is then roasted in Sydney by the brilliant roasters at Stitch Coffee. Coffee is first brought from growers in dry parchment, it is then alter milled at Popayan and transported to Caldas to be decaffeinated. This is significant as many decaf coffees would undergo the decaffeination process in various countries overseas, however, the Popayan coffee can be decaffeinated at origin.
About the Roaster
Stitch Coffee
Stitch Coffee was born of an idea that coffee is much like a tapestry – it is a weaving of origins and flavours to create a delicious cup. Stitch Coffee opened the doors to their roastery in 2015 and began the journey as a small Sydney roaster with large ambitions. The primary goal: To create meaningful connections through coffee.Today, Stitch Coffee are still a company heavily focused on creating connections through coffee, from green bean importers, to everyday coffee drinkers and everyone in between. Stitch Coffee assist cafes in up-skilling their baristas and teams, teaching them how to extract the perfect espresso and brew a delicious pour-over. Their love for coffee is fed by the daily home brewers and the cafes that serve their coffee. Stitch continue to source coffee ethically from around the world and ensure that they have the ability to communicate this with the community. They're continuously evolving their buying practices and fostering relationships with importers and farmers to ensure a healthy future for coffee.

Sugarcane
The Sugarcane Decaf process results in a deliciously sweet coffee bean. First, natural sugarcane is used to make molasses which is then fermented into ethanol and mixed with acetic acid (vinegar) for the perfect balance of flavors—this makes up ethyl acetate (EA). The beans are first steamed at low pressure so they swell up while still retaining their moisture levels needed for caffeine extraction. Once prepared, these caffeinated beauties soak themselves in water along with EA until it bonds naturally occurring salts inside them that extract all that lovely caffeine!

-
What does natural decaffeination mean?
Natural decaffeination means that the caffeine in a coffee has been removed using all natural processes. The leading natural decaffeination processes currently being used are Swiss Water® Process, Mountain Water Process, Sugarcane Process, and CO2 Process. All our decaf coffees are naturally decaffeinated 😃
-
How long does roasted decaf coffee last?
An unopened bag of roasted decaf coffee beans can last for up to 2-3 months, less if the beans have been pre-ground for you. The ideal time to enjoy your roasted decaf coffee is 7-21 days after the roast date, as roasted beans experience a 'degassing' phase after they have been roasted, during which time carbon dioxide is naturally released from the beans.
The one-way valve that is common in most coffee packaging allows carbon dioxide to be released from the bag, while preventing oxygen and moisture from entering it. Once the degassing phase ends the beans begin absorbing oxygen. This process causes a slow and gradual decline in freshness and aroma.
Personal taste and storage methods will also affect the freshness of decaf coffee beans. Coffee should be stored in an airtight bag or container, out of direct sunlight, in a cool dry area. -
How much caffeine is in decaf coffee?
The amount of residual caffeine in decaf coffee depends on the process that was used to decaffeinate the green coffee beans. We have found that the Swiss Water® Process and Mountain Water Process result in a 99% caffeine free coffee, while the Sugarcane Process and CO2 Process result in a 97% caffeine free coffee.
-
When are orders dispatched?
Our decaf coffee roasters send coffee directly from their roasting facility to your home to guarantee freshness. This means that when your order contains decaf coffees from different roasters as part of the same order, each will ship separately.
You will receive an email with tracking numbers once orders are dispatched.
It's important to keep in mind that roasters have individual roasting schedules and most do not roast over the weekend. Orders are typically dispatched 24-48 hours after roasting. -
Is decaf coffee safe for pregnant women?
Current Australian Guidelines indicate that "Pregnant or breastfeeding women and children should restrict their caffeine intake."
All decaf coffees on Tasty Decafs have all been decaffeinated using natural decaffeination processes, free of chemicals and additives, and are 97-99% caffeine free.
