Decaffeinated Robusta Coffee Beans – Daklak Grade 1
Decaffeinated Robusta coffee beans give decaf espresso the body and crema that decaf Arabica alone often lacks. Helena Coffee Vietnam starts from Grade 1 robusta grown at about 700 m in Daklak and supplies the decaffeinated green beans at 90% on screen 18 (7.1 mm), 12.5% moisture, 0.1% admixture and 0.5–1% black and broken, ready for roasting.
Why roasters add decaf robusta to their range
Most decaf on the market is Arabica, which can taste thin in espresso, especially with milk. Adding decaffeinated Robusta coffee beans to a decaf blend brings back the heavy body, chocolate notes and thick crema that customers expect from a regular espresso. Because robusta naturally contains about twice as much caffeine as Arabica, careful decaffeination is essential. The Wikipedia article on decaffeination explains the main methods used today.
Decaffeinated coffee is generally required to contain no more than 0.1% caffeine in the EU and to have at least 97% of its caffeine removed in the United States. Ask us for the decaffeination method and caffeine test report of the current lot.

Cup profile and roasting
Expect a full-bodied, low-acid cup with dark chocolate and roasted-nut notes and good crema. Decaf beans roast faster and look darker than regular green coffee, so lower the charge temperature and finish by colour. Decaffeinated Robusta coffee beans work best at 30–50% in decaf espresso blends with decaf Arabica, and on their own in decaf Vietnamese-style milk coffee.
For roasters producing decaf capsules and pods, a share of decaf robusta also improves crema and helps keep the cost per cup in line with regular products.

Frequently asked questions
Why use decaf robusta instead of only decaf Arabica?
Decaf robusta adds body, chocolate notes and crema to decaf espresso, which many customers miss in 100% decaf Arabica blends.
How much caffeine do decaffeinated Robusta coffee beans contain?
Each lot is tested; decaf for most markets must have at least 97% of the caffeine removed or contain no more than 0.1% caffeine. We share the report before shipment.
When will the next lot be available?
This product is currently out of stock. Contact us and we will confirm the next available lot and reserve volume for you.
How should decaffeinated Robusta coffee beans be stored?
Store them like other green coffee, in a cool, dry and odour-free warehouse. GrainPro liners or vacuum bags help protect decaf beans, which are more porous after processing.
