Decafs That Deliver on Aroma, Strength and Flavour
There’s nothing quite like an energising cup of freshly brewed coffee in the morning to get you into gear for the day ahead, but when it gets to that time of the evening when you’re winding down, a boost of caffeine may not be the best idea if you’re hoping to get a good night’s sleep. Fortunately, for those who love to drink coffee in the evenings, or indeed anyone who prefers a caffeine-free drink, Coffee-Direct has some fabulous alternatives in the form of quality decaffeinated coffees that easily equal the finest of the caffeinated ones.
Say Aloha to Kona Hawaii Coffee - a Rare and Exquisite Delight
Kona Hawaii Coffee is a pleasingly smooth, full-bodied coffee with a moderate acidity, that carries the most exquisite flavours and a rich, heady aroma. This fabulous coffee is sourced from a family-run plantation in the small town of Captain Cook, situated high on the volcanic slopes of Mauna Loa. The area is ideal for growing coffee, having a microclimate of sun-drenched mornings, cloud-covered afternoons, mild nights and abundant rainfall. The region is known for producing some of the finest coffees in the world, with an emphasis on growing beans of superior and consistent quality.

Here you will find a coffee with mild acidity, delicious malty notes and ripe fruit flavours, that takes its name from Paraiso, a town in the Barahona Province of the Dominican Republic. With its idyllic beaches, deep turquoise sea, lush mountains and cool, clear rivers, it’s little wonder it was named ‘Paraiso’, the Spanish word for ‘paradise’.

So how should coffee best be stored to keep it fresh and fragrant?
