Decaf Blend

Merlo Decaf Blend: 100% natural Mountain Water process extracts 99.9% of caffeine using pure mountain water, preserving golden honey sweetness, lemon-lime citrus, and body.

Supermarket: Chemical solvent baths wash away aromatic oils, resulting in a flat, metallic, and papery cup.

Merlo Decaf Blend: Full-bodied Catimor Arabica delivers rich crema and robust structure that holds up in flat whites without tasting watered-down.

Supermarket: Thin and watery, instantly dissolving into warm milk with zero coffee presence.

Merlo Decaf Blend: Roasted daily in Brisbane in small batches and dispatched at peak flavour development.

Supermarket: Stored on warehouse shelves for months, leaving dry and oxidised beans with heavy bitterness.

Cultivated sustainably between 900 and 1200 metres, yielding dense bean structure, natural sweetness, and a smooth medium body.

Uses pure water to gently remove caffeine while preserving active coffee solids, delicate citrus notes, and essential flavour oils.

Careful batch calibration develops light honey sweetness and refreshing lemon-lime aromatics with a clean, gentle aftertaste.

Extract at a 1:2 ratio in 26 to 28 seconds for rich crema and balanced strength that shines in afternoon flat whites.

Highlights delicate floral fragrances, mild lemon-lime acidity, and clean honey sweetness with zero caffeine jitters.

Coarse grind yields a smooth, soothing evening coffee with natural honey sweetness and a gentle, comforting mouthfeel.

We roast small decaf batches five days a week so your beans arrive fresh with natural sweetness and aromatic oils intact.

Orders placed before midday Monday to Friday are packed fresh and dispatched directly from our Brisbane roastery.

Select whole beans or have our team grind fresh to order for home espresso, plunger, stovetop, or drip filter.
