Roast Level
Sourced from producers Elias and Shady Bayter, and their farm located in Fresno, Tolima. Our Colombian decaffeinated coffees come from the same farm and producers as our high scoring caffeinated lots. The result is a flavorful and enjoyable cup of decaffeinated coffee. The coffees are decaffeinated using the sugarcane ethyl acetate (E.A.) processing, commonly referred to as natural decaffeination, starts by fermenting molasses derived from sugarcane to create ethanol. The ethanol is then mixed with acetic acid which creates ethyl acetate to decaffeinate the beans. The caffeine levels are lowered to 0.1%. Despite the name, there is no sugar included in the finished product. Click here to learn more about the E.A. decaf process.

I have been using the Noreaster Decafe for the past couple of years. I enjoy the flavor very much. The regular Noreaster that I purchased is actually a gift so I can't comment on it. I have always believed that when decaf coffee is brewed properly you can't tell that it's decaf but then again I'm not an aficionados.
My son has been buying coffee from speedwell for years, he is a huge coffee snob, and he bought me a bag of the decaf nor’easter beans about a year ago. I only drink decaf. He thinks I am very odd that I like decaf coffee. He thinks why bother drinking coffee if it’s decaf. I love coffee for the flavor not the jolt. This is the best coffee I have ever had. I used to think coffee is coffee, I now know that’s not true. He also bought me a grinder so I can grind my beans when I want a single cup of coffee, as he does every morning. Well I do grind them, but in larger quantities to make cold brew at home. He cringes when he sees me grinding enough coffee beans to make a pitcher of cold brew as well as more to use later. I figure if I am grinding why not do extra for my next pitcher.
Hey to each his own! He was correct about the quality of speedwells coffee. I can’t drink cold brew anywhere else!
The people in the shop cannot be nicer! I love buying local!!

My husband and I love the Decaf Nor'Easter. Excellent flavor - we enjoy it so much. It is also terrific to get the beans freshly roasted!
I came across Speedwell Coffee while surfing the net. Serendipity is sometimes most rewarding, and finding Speedwell turned out be just that. Due to heart health issues it is best for me to restrict my coffee consumption to decaf. That is the sad part of this review. At any rate, I saw Speedwell's offering of decaf Nor'easter and placed an order. I can only describe my decision to do so as one of the better decisions I've made in a very long while. This is a decaf that delivers and then some. I cannot imagine a coffee lover not liking decaf Nor'easter. The taste is fantastic. Yes, it is possible to decaffeinate coffee beans and still end up with a drink that is, in fact, great tasting coffee all the way. Do I miss caffeine? I suppose that, yes, I do at times. However, I would miss good tasting coffee much more. With decaf Nor'easter that is not an issue whatever.
