Coffee choice
Consumers who enjoy decaffeinated coffee now have a great taste alternative in Rainforest Alliance Swiss Water Process Firefly Decaffeinated coffee from Reunion Island Coffee. Set to change the notion of a decaf coffee being less flavourful, this brew is a single-origin coffee from a Rainforest Alliance-certified producer in Brazil. The patented Swiss Water process removes caffeine without the use of chemicals, resulting in a rich, aromatic coffee with a medium-dark level. The coffee is sold in 12-oz and one-kg whole bean formats.

Beer to go
