👨‍🌾 The Story Behind the Coffee

First things first: decaf should still taste like proper coffee, not like sadness. This one is built to be an excellent cup without the caffeine, designed to energise you without keeping you up at night.

“Tumbaga” is named after an alloy of gold, copper, and silver used across Colombia for small objects. It symbolically balances opposites (sun and moon), which is a great metaphor for a decaf that still feels lively and complete.

Unlike many decafs that start with older coffees, Tumbaga begins with high-quality coffee sourced through an integrated supply chain. Because decaffeination can amplify sweetness and acidity, the sourcing teams deliberately look for coffees with high body, high sweetness, and low acidity so the final cup stays balanced and chocolatey.

Colombia’s climate diversity also helps keep the Tumbaga profile consistent year-round. Sourcing typically follows harvest timing, generally pulling from Tolima or Cauca in summer months, and Antioquia or Eje Cafetero regions in winter months, supporting consistency at accessible prices while backing producer resilience.

There’s also a tangible give-back baked in: every bag purchased contributes to a Farmgate Initiative project.

🤝 Ethical Sourcing Practices

We believe great coffee should be good for everyone involved, from the people growing it to the people drinking it. We pay responsibly for our green coffee, working with importers and producers who prioritise fair pricing, long term relationships and ethical sourcing.

☕️ Choose your grind

We’ve simplified our grind options to make things easier:

🐾 Whole bean — best if you grind fresh at home.

🐾 Cafetiere grind — for French press/cafetiere brewing.

🐾 Filter grind — for V60, Chemex, drip machines and most pour-over brewers.

🐾 Fine grind — for moka pot and espresso-style brewing.

For traditional espresso machines, we recommend whole beans where possible so you can dial in your grind.
