Colombia Decaf

Colombia Decaf is Record's decaffeinated coffee, from the Huila, Cauca and Nariño regions of Colombia, grown at 1,300 to 1,800 metres. The maker lists dark caramel, raisins and mandarin as the flavours, and calls it smooth and suited to any brewing method.

Small-scale farmers hand-pick the cherries, which are fermented for 20 hours, washed three to four times and dried slowly. The caffeine is then removed with fresh spring water and ethyl acetate, which the maker describes as a by-product of sugarcane that is also found in other foods and drinks. The maker says at least 97 per cent of the caffeine is removed and any remaining ethyl acetate is steamed off afterwards.

It is part of Record's Side A range, the everyday side, alongside Side A Espresso Blend. It is sold in 200 g bags or an 800 g pack of four, whole bean or ground.

Made by Record Coffee Roasters, who learned to roast under Master Roaster Anne Cooper, ran a roastery in Victoria's Dandenong Ranges, and moved to the Margaret River region in 2021.
