James Hoffmann's Decaf Project
OUT OF STOCK We are buzzing to be taking part in the Decaf Project, set up by James Hoffmann. A live tasting event on a global scale. Pre-order now to be shipped on December 6th.
For a full breakdown on this Project and our involvement in it, please head to our page here.
The Decaf Project
James Hoffmann has selected one coffee, processed in four different ways for us Roasters to work our magic on. Here, you can order these coffees to try for yourselves- sipping, slurping, making notes; culminating in a mass tasting on December 15th via live stream.
Why are we taking part? Quite simply, we believe in our ability to extract the very best flavours of a bean, and we are very excited to welcome you to see for yourself.
You can now head to James' YouTube channel here to find out more, or head on over to the following link: https://www.thedecafproject.com
Whats in the Kit?
You can now pre-order the four coffees. We will ensure that you have your coffee ready and raring to go by the 15th of December which is when the live tasting will take place!
Using the same bean, James Hoffmann has chosen four different processes for this event - three of which are decaf! Click here for more information on the coffees.
It is totally up to you if you would rather 100g, 250g, 500g or 1kg of each of the coffees - perhaps you are looking to take part in this with a friend of a loved one, or perhaps this is a solo adventure. Perhaps you are ordering beans rather than preground coffee, and would like to have enough to adjust for the perfect espresso using your own coffee machine. Either way, simply select from the drop down menu which weight you would like, and how you will be brewing your testers.
If you have found us via this project and are new to Wogan Coffee - hello and thank you! We will be roasting these coffees to 'medium' or 'medium-light' rather than 'light' or 'dark/ more developed'.
The Coffee
Processed in four different ways, each roaster will receive 'La Virgen' from Guadalupe, Colombia. Right next to the Suaza River, Guadalupe is surrounded by lush and fertile lands. Coffee here is grown in the remote highlands surrounding the town, at ideal elevations between 1,400 and 2,000 meters above sea level. A skilled quality analyst carefully evaluates each lot of coffee, while a PECA technician works directly with farmers to improve both quality and sustainability.
Why Wogan?
Ethical
We work closely with farms worldwide to make sure that coffee farmers are paid a fair price, through Fairtrade and our own Direct Trade certifications. Working hard with coffee farmers to improve their lives and the lives of their families.
Sustainable
We maintain long term relationships with our carefully selected coffee farms, to provide the stability they need to plan for the future. The added bonus? Coffee that improves with every single crop, as their farming practices and equipment improves.

Sustainable and ethical
We've made it this generation's mission to put sustainability at the forefront. We’ve pledged to be Carbon Neutral by 2030 and are well on our way to getting there. LDPE4 recyclable bags, a Roastery powered entirely by solar energy, and a hell of a lot more.
our story
We, at Wogan Coffee, have been lovingly hand-roasting speciality, ethical, sustainable and traceable coffees since 1970. In our third generation, and a wholly independent family company, you can find us rooted in Bristol; the same city as when Mr Wogan established the business over fifty years ago. Laura and James, grandchildren of the bowler hatted gentleman, now have the ropes firmly in their grasp; James as our resident Q Grader in the Bristol Roastery Headquarters, and Laura in London.
