Organic Decaf
In March we doubled our bag sizes to 450g to halve our packaging and halve our carbon footprint as part of our commitment to sustainability. But per 100g, it's the same price as other speciality, organic coffees despite all our lab testing.
Description
Our organic decaf coffee is the same coffee as our House and Dark(ish) roast coffee, but has been decaffeinated using the all-natural Mountain Water Process.
7 reasons to drink Exhale Decaf:
- More polyphenols & antioxidants: The same organic certified coffee as our House Roast - sourced and roasted for high levels of antioxidants, polyphenols and vitamins.
- Mountain Water Process: Decaffeinated using only the purest glacial water from the highest mountain in Mexico, the Pico de Orizaba.
-
No nasty chemicals: Most decaffeination is done using methylene chloride or ethyl acetate - also used in paint stripper & nail polish remover. Not for us.
-
No nasties: Independently tested free from mycotoxins, moulds, pesticides and heavy metals which are especially high in most decaf coffees.
- Selectively decaffeinated: The green beans are immersed in water to selectively extract the caffeine and leave more of coffee's healthiest compounds in place.
- More sustainable: Decaffeination is done near the farm where the coffee is grown in Mexico. Drastically reducing it's carbon footprint vs the Swiss Water Process which is done in Europe.
- Sensational taste: Exhale decaf tastes so good even the pro's can't tell it's a decaf!
If you're used to drinking stale supermarket coffee, brace yourself, this will rock your world!

Ingredients
450g of speciality grade, 100% Arabica, single origin, organic coffee.
We don't add anything else to make it healthy... because nothing else is needed!
Choosing a grind size
Wholebean - Choose this if you have your own grinder.
Fine Ground - Choose this for espresso machines.
Medium Ground - Choose this for everything else, including cafetiere, AeroPress, dripper, Moka pot etc..
NOTE: this is not instant coffee. It's real, fresh roasted, life-affirming coffee and so you will need to brew it in something like a cafetiere, filter, AeroPress etc.
For max health benefits drink 2 to 3 cups of regular or decaf a day.
The healthiest healthy swap you can make
The best healthy swaps are the ones that are the most sustainable long term.
Simply switching your coffee to Exhale can have a tangible impact on your long term health and is one of the simplest and healthiest swaps you can make!

Sweet FAQs
How much coffee should I drink for maximum health benefits?
The research is clear - for the maximum health benefits from coffee you should drink 3 to 5 cups a day (or 2 to 3 mugs). Read our article on how much coffee is too much?
1 x 450 bag contains around 30 cups so we recommend 1 bag, per person, per fortnight. Which at £18 bag is still the same as just 5 cups of coffee in a cafe!
If you're sensitive to caffeine try mixing our regular coffee and our decaf for a half-caf. They're from the same farm so mix well together. Or go for our decaf.
How will Exhale make me feel?
Rather than answer this ourselves here are what other customers feel after drinking Exhale (all verified Trust Pilot reviews):
“I’m so alert and stable for the entire day, compared to a normal coffee which spikes before shortly plummeting. Exhale are game changers.”- Amanda Evans, 19th Dec 2022.
“I'm in love. No blood sugar crashes, no IBS stuff. Just focus and energy”. - Magdalena M, 6th Feb 2023.
“I am a coffee snob and this is simply delicious!” – Vicki, 4th Feb 2023.
“As a life long IBS sufferer who has struggled with coffee exacerbating symptoms I can honestly say that Exhale has been only beneficial for my gut health, my IBS is gone!” – HannaP, 13th Dec 2022.
“Really have noticed the difference in my alertness since using Exhale” – danielmensah, 31st Jan 2023.
“I can honestly say, my one cup of exhale mid morning is one of the highlights of my day, it is simply happiness in a mug!” – L F Wates, 18th Jan 2023.
“The flavour of Exhales organic house roast is exquisite. I'm not even going to try and describe the taste sensation, it just needs to be experienced.” – Jane, 3rd Jan 2023.
“if you are on the fence about buying and looking at reviews to see if you should, then this review is to tell you that YOU SHOULD! And if this review doesn't do it for you then just head over and talk to Exhale Coffee their humility and kindness will definitely sway it for you. :)” - John Brotherton, 11 Nov 2022.

Is it instant coffee?
No, it needs brewing in something like a cafetiere, AeroPress, espresso machine or dripper etc.
It's well worth the effort though because it's healthier and more delicious!
Read our article to learn how to brew the perfect coffee.
Instant coffee has been linked to some nasty diseases and has 4 times the amount of mould / mycotoxins on average! Read our article reviewing the latest research.
Is Exhale coffee mould and mycotoxin free?
It is indeed. We test every shipment of our coffee at an independent lab for pesticides, mould, yeasts, mycotoxins and heavy metals to verify the coffees absolute purity.
It is then stored in GrainPro ultra-hermetic sealed bags in a temperature controlled environment.
Most supermarket bought coffees were roasted and ground months before you buy them leaving them likely to stale and open to contamination. All our coffee is roasted fresh weekly to make sure you’re drinking the freshest, cleanest possible brew.
If you want to know more, read our article on why you should avoid mycotoxins and learn how they're a bigger issue than you may think in coffee.
How can coffee be healthy?
Coffee comes from a fruit and like any other fruit is packed full of naturally healthy compounds. The most beneficial being polyphenols such as chlorogenic acid. Read more on coffee's fruity side in our article.
Through over roasting and poor handling these compounds are often significantly reduced in other coffees. Studies show up to a 31-fold difference between some cups of coffee!
During our unique process we sourced a bean naturally high in the healthiest compounds and roasted in a way that locks in as much of them as possible.
We also keep out the bad and our organic coffee also independently tested to be free from moulds, mycotoxins, pesticides and other nasties.
Do you add anything to Exhale coffee to make it healthy?
No we don't, because we don't need to!
A good quality coffee that's been treated right is as healthy as any other 'superfood' on the planet.
There's a modern trend towards taking poor quality ingredients (such as instant coffee, read our blog on that here) and adding whatever the latest fad, on-trend superfood is to make it 'healthy' again.
We instead took the care to (obsessively) look after every stage from farm to cup and work with the wonderful things naturally in our coffee already.
It definitely wasn't the easiest option, but it's the best one for you and the planet and that's what matters to us. 😁
Can I get health benefits from all coffees?
Yes you can, but multiple studies show the quantity of the healthiest compounds vary immensely from coffee to coffee.
In 2014 one study tested 104 espressos from cafes in Scotland, Italy and Spain and found a 31 fold difference between the highest and lowest concentrations of coffee's healthiest compound!
Coffee makes me anxious / jittery, will Exhale be better?
It should... One study shows that polyphenols counteract the negative effects of caffeine, reducing anxiousness. So a high polyphenol coffee like Exhale should reduce the jittery effects from caffeine.
This has been confirmed by lots of our customers who have reported this (just search for jitters or anxious in our Trust Pilot reviews).
However, everyone is unique so it’s impossible to say for certain how you will react. And if you're really worried then we also do a cracking decaf.
I’d love to know how you get on so please drop me an email on alex@exhalecoffee.com if you do try it.
Will Exhale coffee make me perform better?
Yes. It's true.
Caffeine is one of the few scientifically proven 'ergogenic aids to performance'. Meaning it will help you preform better, on average 11-12% better according to 2x meta-analyses!
However, unlike other coffees, Exhale coffee is also high in polyphenols which studies have shown can improve both sprint and endurance performance.
So in Exhale coffee the caffeine and polyphenols work synergistically to give you a double performance boost! Win win!!
For more, read our blog on how to use coffee to set a new PB.
Is decaf as healthy?
Most of the health benefits are the same across the caffeinated and decaf versions, with only a minor magnification of effects in some areas due to the ‘entourage effect’. So you’re still onto a winner with the decaf.
The areas where decaf isn't as protective are broadly:
- Liver health. Coffee is very protectiive of the liver. Those effects are more pronounced in regular coffee.
- Cognitive health. Especially age-related cognitive benefits are slightly less pronounced in decaf.
I wouldn’t worry though, if you’re not a fan of caffeine (or it's not a fan of you!), the decaf is still packed full of antioxidants and polyphenols so is hugely beneficial.
Is it suitable for Bulletproof Coffee
Also known as 'Butter Coffee' or 'Keto Coffee', Bulletproof coffee is a popular way of drinking coffee blending it with ghee/butter and MCT Oil.
To be suitable, coffee should be independently lab tested mycotoxin free and ideally high in polyphenols making Exhale the perfect choice.
Our Dark(ish) roast works best so get yours today!
Is Exhale coffee as healthy for the planet as it is for people?
We try our best to make sure it is.
Health, taste AND sustainability were genuinely equally prioritised at every stage of our process. Whcih was recognised by our B Corp certification.
So technically there could be a healthier coffee out there (shhh!) but perhaps it didn't pay a fair price to the farmer, or was grown with polluting, non-organic pesticides, in which case we wouldn't touch it.
Is your packaging environmentally friendly?
It's as good as currently exists... all our coffee is delivered in compostable, plastic free packaging, and all the paper we use is from FSC Certified renewable sources.
The pouch itself is home compostable (you can compost it in your garden) but the valve and zipper are industrially compostable so tear them off and pop in your green waste bin.
The world's insatiable thirst for polluting, single use plastic has to stop. And we want to be part of that change.
We're always looking for more environmentally friendly ways to package our coffee so please let us know if you have any suggestions!

Double the coffee, half the waste
The cost of living crisis is affecting small business as much as consumers. Faced with having to put up prices to cover escalating costs we looked outside the box and an idea was born.
We put it to the vote and heard from over 2,000 of our subscribers. They were overwhelmingly in favour (>90%)...
So from the 6th of March we only offer double the coffee (450g) in the same sized pouch, for double the price, so no net price increase.
Overnight we halved the packaging used and send half the deliveries so halving our outbound carbon footprint. This means no net price increase for you, but a huge win for the environment. And for us, we made cost savings needed instead of putting our prices up.
