About the Project

The Decaf Project, spearheaded by James Hoffmann, is an exciting initiative that showcases three distinct decaffeination methods alongside a non-decaf option, all crafted from the same exceptional coffee lot.

The coffee selected

La Virgen, cultivated in the highlands of Guadalupe, Huila, Colombia—a region known for its rich coffee-growing heritage is the coffee that was selected for this project.
The dedicated coffee families of Guadalupe have cultivated their craft through generations, producing high-quality coffee with a deep commitment to environmental sustainability. With farms averaging 5 hectares, many of these growers have achieved Rainforest Certification and are fully compliant with EUDR standards, ensuring responsible farming practices that protect their environment and communities.
For the Decaf Project we divided one special lot of La Virgen into four parts—three were decaffeinated by our partners using different methods, and one remains as unprocessed washed coffee.
