Roast:

Lala Salama Decaf proves you can enjoy a truly satisfying cup of coffee with all the flavour and none of the caffeine buzz. In fact, its name appropriately means "Sleep Well" in Swahili!

This Rwandan decaf starts with a fresh, crispy apple zing that's beautifully complemented by sweet cinnamon and raisin notes, providing a gentle, spiced finish.

Lala Salama is ethically sourced from over 1000 cooperative farmers in Rwanda. Red Bourbon cherries are processed at the Gitega Hills Station in the Cyanika sector of Central Rwanda, and then decaffeinated using the sparkling water method to ensure a full-flavoured experience.

If you love Rwandan coffee but are not buzzing about caffeine, then Lala Salama is the one for you.

Gitega Hills

Lala Salama is produced by the Rwanda Trading Company, who work with over 1000 cooperative farmers in the Gitega Hills, Cyanika Sector, Central Rwanda. All farmers are supplied with organic compost made from recycled cherry pulp and animal manure, to enrich their coffee trees.

All the Flavour, None of the Buzz

All the body and flavour you would expect from a coffee, minus the caffeine hit. Expect notes of crisp green apple, cinnamon and raisin.

Sparkling Water Decaf Process

The sparkling water decaffeination process works by introducing pressurised liquid carbon dioxide and water to green coffee beans to extract the caffeine. Once decaffeinated, the beans are dried back to their original moisture level, getting them ready for roasting. This method of removing caffeine ensures the coffee's natural flavour remains intact, while avoiding the use of harsh solvents.
