Rediscovering Decaf: Specialty’s New Flavor Frontier
Decaf coffee in 2025 is attracting a new wave of coffee lovers who want rich taste minus the caffeine jitters. The old stigma of bland or “second-best” decaf is gone, replaced by exciting innovations in processing and sourcing. Roasters now use Swiss Water, CO2, and natural techniques to protect delicate flavor notes—making it possible to enjoy Ethiopia’s floral complexity or Colombian chocolate smoothness in every cup.
