FAQs

How is the caffeine removed from Union's Decaf?
Union uses the organic CO₂ decaffeination process — caffeine is removed using only water and carbon dioxide, with no chemical solvents involved. This preserves far more of the original flavour than traditional methods.

What does the Decaf Blend taste like?
Rich, full-bodied and indulgent — with hints of dark caramel and the kind of satisfying depth usually associated with caffeinated espresso blends. It's a proper cup, not a compromise.

Is decaf coffee actually good for you?
Decaf retains most of the antioxidants found in regular coffee while eliminating most of the caffeine. It's a popular choice for those who are caffeine-sensitive, pregnant, or simply want to enjoy coffee in the evening without affecting sleep.

Where do the coffees in this blend come from?
The blend is made from coffees sourced from smallholder farmers in Honduras and Peru, traded directly through Union's Union Direct Trade programme.

Is Union Decaf suitable for espresso machines?
This pre-ground version is optimised for cafetiere. For espresso or bean-to-cup machines, Union offers the Decaf Blend as wholebean so you can grind to your machine's specification.
