Our head of coffee had one goal: making sure our Swiss Water® Decaf was proof that decaf doesn’t have to be boring.
Not only solvent-free, our Swiss water decaf is organic too. No synthetic chemicals means cleaner beans, better flavour and no caffeine.
It’s a specialty coffee roasted medium-dark to deliver smooth, chocolate-rich flavour and a satisfying body. It's perfect for evenings, early mornings, or anything in between. Tastes like proper coffee but without caffeine.
Every bean comes from Latin America and is 100% Organic and Fairtrade certified. That means cleaner beans and farmers paid to actually care, resulting in quality that shines in every decaf brew.
We decaffeinate using the Swiss Water® Process, a chemical-free method that preserves flavour. So with this coffee, you get all the depth, not the caffeine.

Meet the farmer
Our Decaf is grown by the CECANOR cooperative in northern Peru, home of the Café Femenino movement that empowers women farmers. Certified Organic, Fairtrade, and specialty-grade, this coffee is decaffeinated using the 100 percent chemical-free Swiss Water® Process, preserving natural sweetness and clarity. In the cup it is smooth and balanced, with notes of apple, peach, caramel, and nuts, offering full flavour without the caffeine.

Fairtrade
Fairtrade is a global system that ensures farmers are paid a fairer, more stable price for their coffee, with an additional premium invested back into their co-operatives and communities. This stability gives producers and their communities the chance to plan for the future and strengthen local infrastructure — from training and adoption of improved farming practices and equipment to community education and clean water projects. Combined with organic practices and specialty-grade standards, our coffee is grown with expertise that supports quality at every stage, with fewer shortcuts and greater care, and this is what makes every cup of Owens coffee taste consistently clean, balanced, and rewarding.

Organic
Our organic coffees are grown without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, protecting both the environment and the people who farm it. Healthier soil produces stronger plants, and slower-ripening cherries develop more natural sugars, creating sweetness and clarity in the cup. Organic farming also safeguards biodiversity, protects local ecosystems and supports long-term resilience for farming communities. For customers, this means coffee that is cleaner, more complex and free from chemical harshness. Paired with Fairtrade principles and specialty-grade quality, Organic farming is one of the reasons every mug of Owens tastes consistently bright, balanced, and rewarding.

Specialty coffee
Specialty grade is the independent standard that guarantees every coffee we roast meets the highest benchmarks of quality. Scored by trained Q graders on aroma, flavour, body, and balance, specialty coffees must achieve 80 points or more on the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) scale — proof of excellence that is recognised worldwide. For farmers, it reflects the care and precision that goes into cultivation, harvesting, and processing. For customers, it means every bag of Owens delivers a cup that is consistently clean, flavour-rich, and rewarding. Combined with our Soil Association Organic certification and Fairtrade sourcing, specialty grade ensures Owens coffee is not only ethical, but exceptional.

Sustainability
Our Loring roaster is one of the most energy-efficient machines in the world, reducing fuel consumption by up to 80% compared with traditional drum roasters. By using a single-burner system that recirculates hot air, it cuts carbon emissions dramatically while maintaining precise, even roasting. For customers, it means every bag of Owens carries a roast profile that is consistent, smooth, and full of character.
