Coffee is seasonal, so our coffee selection changes through the year to reflect this. The current coffee for this subscription is detailed above.

It depends on the coffee, which is why we test each one. Most regular arabica coffee contains around 1.4% to 1.6% caffeine by weight. Our Explorer lo caf coffees typically test between 0.6% and 1.0% — roughly half the caffeine of a normal coffee. Our ultra-low Rarities coffees typically test between 0.4% and 0.6%. The tested figure for the current coffee is shown on the product page.

Both are naturally low caffeine and both are lab tested. Explorer is our core tier, with coffees typically testing between 0.6% and 1.0% caffeine, drawing on coffees such as Laurina hybrids, Aramosa and Excelsa. Rarities is our ultra-low tier, typically 0.4% to 0.6% caffeine, focused on the rare Laurina variety. Rarities coffees are scarcer, which is reflected in the price.

Our lo caf coffees contain less caffeine than regular coffee, but they are not caffeine free. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or managing a medical condition, we would always suggest checking your recommended caffeine intake with your GP or midwife. Because every lo caf coffee is tested for caffeine, you can see exactly what you are drinking and make an informed choice.

Laurina is a rare, naturally low caffeine variety of arabica. It contains roughly 0.4% to 0.6% caffeine by weight - far less than ordinary arabica - and is prized for its delicate, sweet cup. Because it is difficult to grow and low yielding, it is uncommon and limited in supply. It forms the basis of our ultra-low Rarities subscription.

No. Decaf is regular coffee that has had its caffeine removed by a decaffeination process, leaving almost none behind. Naturally low caffeine ('lo caf') coffee comes from rare coffee varieties or species that contain less caffeine to begin with - nothing is removed. Each one is lab tested so you know its exact caffeine level.
