Sleepy Dream Decaf Coffee

Sleepy Dream is JWC Roastery’s specialty decaf coffee, created for people who still want a satisfying cup of coffee without the usual caffeine intensity.

Processed in Colombia using the Sugarcane EA decaffeination method, it preserves more of the coffee’s natural sweetness, aroma and body than many conventional decaf coffees.

Expect a smooth and comforting cup with red apple, orange, caramel, chocolate and a nutty finish, suitable for espresso, milk coffee and filter brewing.

A Proper Coffee, Not Just a Decaf Alternative

Many people expect decaf coffee to taste thin, flat or overly processed. Sleepy Dream was selected to offer a more complete specialty coffee experience, with enough sweetness, body and flavour to remain satisfying whether served black or with milk.

The goal is not simply to remove caffeine. The goal is to keep the coffee enjoyable.

Why Is It Called Sleepy Dream?

Sleepy Dream was created for coffee drinkers who want to enjoy the ritual and flavour of coffee later in the day, with less caffeine than regular coffee.

It is suitable for afternoon coffee, after-dinner drinks and customers who are more sensitive to caffeine.

Decaf coffee is not completely caffeine-free, so individual sensitivity may still vary.

What Is Sugarcane EA Decaf?

Sugarcane EA is a decaffeination process commonly used in Colombia. The coffee is first processed using the washed method, then caffeine is removed using ethyl acetate derived from sugarcane fermentation.

This process is valued because it can preserve more sweetness, aroma and body compared with many conventional decaffeination methods. The result is a cleaner and more flavourful decaf coffee, without added flavouring.

Who Should Not Buy This

Sleepy Dream may not be the best choice if you want the full stimulating effect of regular coffee, extremely bright acidity, intense anaerobic fermentation or a very dark and bitter roast.

If you are highly sensitive to caffeine, please note that decaf coffee may still contain a small amount of caffeine.
