Norfolk Coffee Co - Signature Decaf

A decaf that doesn’t compromise — smooth, sweet, and genuinely worth drinking

This is where most decaf coffees fall apart.

This one doesn’t.

The Signature Decaf from Norfolk Coffee Company is a light to medium roast designed to prove that removing caffeine doesn’t mean removing flavour.

Sourced from the highlands of Jinotega in Nicaragua, this is a coffee built on quality, scale, and sustainability, delivering a cup that is round, smooth, and quietly indulgent — whether you’re drinking it in the morning, afternoon, or late into the evening.

This is decaf for people who actually like coffee.

About the Cooperative & Farming

This coffee comes from the Aldea Coffee cooperative, a network of over 20,000 smallholder farmers, including more than 5,000 women producers, working across the Jinotega highlands.

Farms average around five hectares and operate within the Café ECOFORESTAL programme — an agroforestry system that:

• Integrates hardwood and fruit trees
• Uses banana plants and cover crops
• Improves soil health and biodiversity
• Diversifies farmer income

Coffee cherries are selectively hand-picked between December and March, then:

• Sun-dried at the Asturias facility
• Carefully prepared for export to maintain consistent moisture and quality

This is coffee grown with long-term thinking — for the land, the producers, and the cup.

It earns its place — just like everything else on the shelf.
