It’s pure coffee flavour, without the buzz. Forget everything you know about decaf coffee and discover Merlo’s full-flavoured, Rainforest Alliance (RFA) Certified blend, sustainably cultivated in Mexico. These organic decaf coffee beans are decaffeinated using the natural water method ensuring a clean, chemical-free taste that preserves the integrity of the bean.
Distinguished by delicate lemon and lime citrus notes, honey sweetness, and a light floral fragrance, this decaf blend is crafted for balance. Smooth and versatile, it’s a perfect match for both milk-based coffees and rich, black espresso.
The Decaf Blend is both Organic and Rainforest Alliance Certified, meaning no harmful chemicals are used in cultivation or in the decaffeination process. We source 100% Arabica coffee beans from Mexico, where the Catimor varietal is grown at a medium altitude of 900-1200 metres, developing naturally complex flavour notes.
Once harvested, the beans undergo the Swiss Water decaffeination method, which gently extracts caffeine while retaining the natural flavour profile. When the beans arrive at our Brisbane roastery, they are roasted daily using the same techniques and standards that define Merlo’s signature blends. The result? Decaf coffee beans that taste every bit as vibrant and satisfying as regular coffee.
Decaf has come a long way in recent decades. As farmers refine cultivation and caffeine extraction, quality has soared and our Decaf Blend showcases the best of these innovations. It’s proof you don’t have to compromise on taste when choosing decaf.
Our Decaf Blend is crafted for coffee lovers who want all the flavour without the caffeine. Whether you buy decaf ground coffee or prefer to grind whole decaf coffee beans yourself, the process is the same as with any of our other coffee beans, straightforward, fresh, and delicious.
Medium-bodied and full of flavour, our decaf is versatile enough to enjoy black, as a long black or filter brew, or paired with milk for a smooth flat white or latte. It’s the ideal way to enjoy a coffee moment morning, afternoon, or evening without the buzz.
The Decaf Blend is medium-bodied with low acidity, making it smooth, approachable, and easy to drink. Subtle honey and citrus notes pair with a delicate floral aroma, while a soft finish leaves you feeling satisfied after every sip.

Yes. Our decaf coffee beans are roasted to the same high standard as our other blends, which means they extract beautifully in an espresso machine. You’ll still enjoy a rich crema and balanced flavour just without the caffeine.
Keep your beans in an airtight container, away from light, heat, and moisture. For best results, store them in a cool cupboard rather than the fridge, and grind only what you need before brewing.

Yes, many customers mix decaf with their favourite caffeinated beans to create a “half-caf” brew. This is a simple way to reduce caffeine intake while still enjoying the body and flavour you love.
