Fully traceable coffee from sustainably producing farmers
The persistent stories that decaffeinated coffee is boring, tasteless, or chemical can finally be consigned to the realm of myths. Thus, we have named this specialty decaf after a non-existent, mythical creature: El Dragón.
This 100% Arabica coffee surprises with a rich profile of brown sugar and sweet milk chocolate, perfectly balanced with the taste of chocolate biscuit. The secret behind this profile is the natural Sugar Cane process. Instead of using aggressive chemical techniques, the caffeine is extracted using fermented sugarcane. This process binds exclusively to the caffeine, allowing the flavors and natural oils of the bean to be perfectly preserved. During careful roasting in our own roastery, it evaporates completely anyway, ensuring a crystal-clear final product.
El Dragón grows in the high mountains of the Santa Maria community in Huila, Colombia. At an impressive altitude of 1700 to 2100 meters, 25 passionate, small-scale farmers join forces to give these beans their deep character. Authentic, fairly produced, and with a story you can taste.

These beans are passionately grown at altitudes of 1,700 to 2,100 meters by 25 small-scale farmers in Huila, Colombia (Santa Maria community). They receive a fair price for their craftsmanship. Furthermore, the natural Sugar Cane method is much more environmentally friendly than traditional chemical decaffeination processes.
What is the best brewing advice for the ultimate cup of El Dragón?
Om de decadente zoete, volle chocoladetonen optimaal te laten knallen, adviseren we de volgende basisrecepten:
- Voor een dubbele espresso: Gebruik 19 gram fijngemalen koffiebonen. Streef naar een extractietijd van 28 seconden voor ongeveer 40 ml (vloeibare) espresso.
- Voor V60 (Filterkoffie): Gebruik 22 gram medium-grof gemalen bonen op 350 ml water. De ideale totale doorlooptijd is 2 minuten en 45 seconden.
