Collection: Low Caf

Lo Caf coffees are rare coffees that naturally contain less caffeine than typical arabica varieties. Most arabica coffees contain 1.4% to 1.6% caffeine by weight.

Laurina, a low-caffeine arabica variety, usually contains 0.4% to 0.6% caffeine. Aramosa, a hybrid of arabica and the low-caffeine species Coffea Racemosa, typically ranges from 0.6% to 1.0%.

These coffees are harder to grow. Caffeine helps defend coffee plants against pests - so low caffeine varieties are more delicate and produced in smaller volumes - making them both distinctive and limited in supply.

For our Lo Caf range, we independently lab test the raw (‘green’) coffee for caffeine content before roasting using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) - a common analytical method for accurately measuring compounds in food and drink.
