Uganda Lala Salama CO₂ Decaf Coffee Beans, 250g/1kg
These exceptional decaf coffee beans prove you don’t have to compromise on flavour for a caffeine-free cup. Sourced from the rugged Rwenzori Mountains of Western Uganda, the Lala Salama lot is a standout example of quality decaffeination.
Tasting Notes
Milk Chocolate • Toffee • Liquorice
Expect a rich, clean, and vibrant cup with smooth milk chocolate sweetness, buttery toffee notes, and a subtle liquorice finish. The high-altitude origin shines through with excellent body and natural sweetness — even after decaffeination.
The Process
Grown at 1800–2200 masl by a select group of just 29 farmers trained by our partner Norman, these natural (“kiboko”) coffees are harvested and dried individually at farm level to preserve flavour integrity. The beans then undergo the Sparkling Water (CO₂) Decaf process — an organic-certified, chemical-free method that uses only natural carbon dioxide and pure water. This gentle process selectively removes caffeine while protecting the bean’s cellular structure and aromatic compounds, resulting in a remarkably clean and flavourful decaf.
