Azahar Decaf
Caffenation [ BE ]
A decaf that holds its own alongside full-bodied single-origin coffees. The Belgian roastery Caffenation, based in Antwerp, proves that decaf coffee can be just as vibrant, clean, and distinctive as anything else in their lineup.
Caffenation is one of Europe’s pioneers in specialty decaf—they’ve been using the Colombian ethyl acetate (EA) decaffeination process derived from sugarcane for over a decade. But Azahar marked a new chapter. When this coffee arrived in early 2025, it proved that decaf doesn’t have to be a compromise. Imports are handled directly through the importer Azahar, which specializes in Colombian microlots from the Huila and Nariño regions—areas renowned for their clean, delicate profiles. The EA decaffeination process is natural and gentle: ethyl acetate is obtained through the fermentation of sugarcane, making it a naturally derived substance.
The result is a washed coffee that retains all its clarity and transparency—no musty aftertaste, no papery undertones, just clean floral notes, caramel, and ripe stone fruits. Rob from Caffenation puts it simply: we want a decaf that can hold its own in a blind cupping. Azahar delivers.
