Where to Buy Decaf in Slovenia?

Nowadays decaf has become a common choice for a coffee drinker, just like any other type of beans. Sadly, finding specialty decaf is not that easy yet. But do not worry since we are here to help!

Before we delve deeper into decaf choice in Slovenia do take your time to read our brief on what decaffeinated coffee is. Now, here is a short list of decaf coffees for you to try.

To find out more about each lot and buy decaffeinated coffee do visit the links of the Slovene local coffee roastmasters that we provided.

Where to buy decaffeinated coffee from Colombia

Let’s start with decaf from Colombia: if you love coffee from this country, there are three places in Slovenia where you can get it.

COFFTOK

First on our list is decaf brought to Slovenia by the COFFTOK team. Meet Colombia Tumbaga, a decaffeinated lot from the regions of Cauca, Tolima, and Eje Cafetero. This washed coffee boasts such flavors as apple, brown sugar, and marzipan. 

Suitable both for espresso and filter coffee due to a masterfully developed omni-roast profile, Tumbaga has medium acidity and a pleasantly sweet aftertaste. We recommend using a recipe from our article on Turkish coffee.

R&B Cafe Roasters

Next up is a true single-origin coffee from the Popayan farms in the Cauca region of Colombia roasted by R&B Cafe Roasters. This lot is also processed in a traditional washed way. Hence its well-structured acidity and sweetness with little to no bitterness on the aftertaste. Chocolaty, caramel-like, and mildly fruity Popayan decaf is best tasted in espresso or French press. 

For French press, we recommend using almost boiling water, 20 grams for 300 milliliters of water, and coarse grind. Steep for at least 3 minutes, break the crust formed, and filter your drink through.

HiKoFi

Last on our list of decaffeinated lots from sunny Colombia is an offer from HiKoFi.  Colombia Sanjuanero is an elegantly roasted coffee from the Huila region, with beautiful flavors such as cinnamon, dark chocolate, apricot, and a hint of tobacco leaf on the aftertaste. Although this decaf is a high-grown blend of varieties of Castillo and Caturra, this lot is not that too acidic. 

Before buying this lot though check if you have a proper kit to brew it. We recommend you try brewing it with Chemex or V60 and use 7gr per 100ml of almost boiling water. Grind size should be medium-coarse so that your brew is finished in no longer than 3 minutes.

Where to buy decaffeinated coffee from Mexico

Now let’s travel from Colombia to Mexico.

STOW

On average, coffees from Mexico are more chocolaty and less acidic than Colombian choices. This however is not the case for Chabela decaf roasted by Stow. It is a well-balanced lot with a rich profile with notes of cinnamon, brown sugar, and milk chocolate. This Mexican decaf is particularly interesting for its rich body, almost cocoa-like in its texture. 

Our recommendation on how to brew this coffee is simple since experts from Stow shared their recipe and we believe in their expertise. So, use 25gr of finely ground coffee, and 250 ml of almost boiling water and brew the drink for no longer than 2 minutes.

Escobar

Now, we present to you a Mexican decaffeinated coffee roasted by Escobar. After a quite special decaffeination process, this coffee retains a lot of uniqueness to the Veracruz area flavors. 

What is there not to love in a cup of coffee that tastes of milk chocolate, hazelnut, apricot, and cane sugar? The syrupy and pleasantly soft body of the drink is exactly what one needs. 

Try this decaffeinated coffee from Mexico in the French press. This time, do use 18gr of coarsely ground coffee beans and 260 ml of almost boiling water.

To sum up

We hope after this short read you are set on buying decaf in Slovenia since the choice is great. Sweet, mildly acidic, medium-bodied coffees are always freshly roasted by passionate professionals.
