When we tried this decaf coffee from Wilton Benitez at Granja Paraiso 92, we were absolutely blown away. Using their innovative processes, Wilton and his team have managed to create a decaf coffee that is unlike any decaf we've ever had, and counters any preconceptions one may have about decaf coffee. This coffee is bright, juicy, floral, and fantastic on pour overs. Granja Paraíso 92 is a highly innovative farm in Piendamó, Cauca, which has its own processing plant, microbiology lab, and quality lab, and just happens to have made the best decaf coffee we've ever had.
When we drink this coffee we think of...

Social Coffee was an idea that was born from Beyond Bread, a small artisanal bakery located in Vancouver’s Kitsilano neighbourhood on West 4th avenue. At Beyond Bread, the loaves and pastries are meticulously prepared using carefully selected, high quality ingredients with a focus on producers with a commitment to sustainable agriculture and biodiversity.
The idea behind Social Coffee was to create coffees that matched Beyond Bread’s standards for high quality sustainable products. These values are represented in Social Coffee’s line-up with organic coffees used for both our Final Proof Espresso Blend and Swiss Water Decaf Cascadia Blend, and traceable single origin coffees used for all of our filter coffees.
By purchasing high quality, traceable specialty grade coffee, we support transparency and are able to provide recognition to our producers. By focusing on coffees that are produced using sustainable methods, we can ensure that specialty coffee can continue to be enjoyed for generations to come.
At Social Coffee, all of our coffees are carefully selected, prepared in small batches, and packaged by hand. We love what we do and our goal is to make every cup our best.
