What is Decaf Coffee?

Learn what decaf coffee really is, how it’s made, and why it’s better than most people think.

Everything You Need to Know About Decaf Coffee Beans

Decaf doesn’t have to mean dull tasting coffee.

At Balance, we’ve perfected a decaf that’s rich, chocolatey, and naturally calming - without the harsh chemicals most brands rely on.

Balance Halcyon decaf coffee uses a clean, Sugarcane EA Decaf processing method using a natural compound derived from sugarcane, preserving flavour and antioxidants while removing 97–99% of caffeine.

Every batch is lab-tested for moulds, mycotoxins, and heavy metals, guaranteeing purity and calm focus in every sip.

Discover how our process keeps your coffee clean, balanced, and better for your body.

1. The Sugarcane EA Process (Our Decaf Method)

  • Uses ethyl acetate, a compound naturally derived from sugarcane.
  • Gently removes caffeine without harsh solvents or chemicals.
  • Protects the bean’s natural flavour compounds and boosts antioxidant levels.
  • Leaves no chemical residue - just smooth, chocolatey taste.

Why it matters: Most supermarket decaf is processed with methylene chloride - a harsh solvent that can affect taste and purity.

2. Lab-Tested for Purity

We independently test every batch for:

  • Moulds and mycotoxins
  • Heavy metals
  • Pesticide residues

This ensures you’re drinking clean coffee that supports, not stresses, your nervous system.

3. Health Benefits of Clean Decaf

Even without caffeine, decaf coffee offers:

  • Natural antioxidants that support liver and heart health
  • Better sleep quality and lower stress hormone response
  • Gentler digestion for sensitive stomachs
  • Calm, sustained focus without crashes

Perfect for afternoon rituals, pregnancy, or anyone reducing caffeine entirely.

4. Taste & Brew Guide

  • Flavour: Smooth, rich, chocolatey with nutty undertones.
  • Roast: Medium. Balanced sweetness and body.
  • Best for: Filter, espresso, or cafetière - versatile across all brewing methods.
  • Pro tip: Use water at 92–94°C to maximise flavour in your cup. Hotter burns the beans and tastes bitter, cooler makes it sour.

5. Sustainable Sourcing

  • Grown at high altitude for cleaner air and slower bean maturation.
  • Shade-grown farms encourage biodiversity and richer flavour.
  • Shipped in eco-friendly, recyclable packaging.

6. Why Clean Decaf Matters

Over 85% of the world’s coffee is sprayed with pesticides and stored in humid conditions that promote mould growth.

This is why Balance exists - to offer speciality coffee that supports performance and peace of mind.

Clean inputs → Calm energy → Better output.

Every decaf coffee contains a small trace of caffeine residue, as it’s impossible to remove it entirely.

Our Sugarcane EA Method naturally reduces caffeine by up to 98%, leaving you with calm, clean energy - without the jitters or crash.

We use the Sugarcane EA Method, one of the cleanest, most natural ways to decaffeinate coffee.

It uses ethyl acetate derived from sugarcane, not synthetic chemicals, to gently extract caffeine while preserving the bean’s natural sweetness and chocolatey flavour.

Rich, smooth, and naturally sweet - with chocolate and nutty notes.

Our slow-roasted decaf beans retain full-bodied flavour and aroma without bitterness, thanks to the gentle Sugarcane EA process.
