About the Bean

Nothing in this cup is telling you to go to bed. Nothing in this cup is keeping you up, either. Curfew is coffee that doesn't care what time it is.

We picked this one because it's good, not because it's "good for decaf." Grown in Brazil's Carmo de Minas region and pulped natural processed, it pours creamy and mellow, with dark chocolate and nutty tasting notes doing most of the talking. No sharp edges to apologize for in the first place.

The caffeine comes out through a water process. No chemicals, just water, filters, and time. Everything else that makes it coffee gets soaked back in before it's dried and shipped, so you get the full cup. Just none of the consequences.

Drink it whenever and still get a great nights sleep.

  • Where it Came From

    Curfew comes from Carmo de Minas, Brazil, grown at 750 to 1100 meters and pulped natural processed, meaning the cherry skin comes off but the fruit stays on through drying, giving it a creamy, chocolate and nutty profile. From there it goes through a water process that pulls the caffeine out and puts the flavor back in, maintaining the flavors Brazilian coffee is known for.
  • Why We Chose It

    We didn't have a decaf in the lineup, and that felt like a gap worth closing. The process mattered as much as the coffee: mountain water process uses water and filtration instead of chemical solvents, so the coffee keeps its actual character instead of getting flattened into something generic. For the origin, we chose familiar over flashy, a profile that's easy to sit with, dark chocolate and peanuts. This isn't a decaf you drink because it's decaf. It's one you drink because it's good, and it happens to be decaf.
