Decaf Colombia

Hale Colombia Decaf Coffee is a decaffeinated blend from Colombia. Our decaf coffee is a medium roast blend that is processed using the  Kaffee Veredelugs Werk  (KVW) method, also known as "The European Method" of decaffeination. This process removes 95% of the caffeine from coffee while retaining the flavour profile of the beans. If you drink Hale Colombia Decaf you will experience tasting notes of honey glazed pecans and get plenty of flavour without the caffeine.  Available as whole beans or ground to match your brewing gear at home - we  recommend brewing with either espresso or filter, an Source: halecoffee.com (roaster’s own copy).

Hale Noir - Dark Roast Blend

Darker blends are generally (excuse the pun) "roasted" by coffee drinkers who believe that high heat kills the complexity and flavours of the bean. ⁣⁣ Dark roasts are generally roasted to such a high level to ensure that ALL of the beans (the good, bad, and the ugly) taste the same to mask defects and ensure consistency.⁣ Source: halecoffee.com (roaster’s own copy).
