Decaf
Is decaf right for you?
Decaf is for the cup you still want when you do not want the rest of the day to follow the caffeine. Some people brew it after dinner. Some people are sensitive to caffeine. Some people want a second pot without feeling wired. If that is you, you are in the right place.
His Word Coffee roasts Evening Grace for that slower cup. It is our current decaf: a medium roast from Mexico, decaffeinated with the Mexican EA (ethyl acetate) process, then air roasted fresh to order in Vancouver, WA. The cup is still coffee. You may notice milk chocolate, orange, pecan, brown sugar, and fig. Those tasting notes are natural impressions from the bean and the roast. Nothing is added.
Decaf is not a different drink. It is coffee with most of the caffeine removed before we roast it. A small amount of caffeine can remain. If you have a hard caffeine limit, follow your clinician's guidance.
This collection is the shop path for that coffee. Start with Evening Grace in 12 ounces, 2 pounds, or 5 pounds, whole bean or ground. If we add more decaf later, it will live here too.
How we decaf, in plain words. Mexican EA uses ethyl acetate on green coffee before roasting. Swiss Water and other water processes use water and carbon filters instead. We currently roast Mexican EA, not Swiss Water. We say that on the bag and on the product page so you can choose with clear facts.
Brew it the same way you brew the rest of our coffee. Drip, pour over, French press, or an espresso-style recipe all work. Start with your usual recipe and taste. Fresh roast matters more than a special decaf trick.

If you are choosing between a caffeinated daily roast and this one, ask a simple question. Do you want the cup, or do you want the lift? Evening Grace is for the cup.
Decaf questions
How is this coffee decaffeinated?
Evening Grace is decaffeinated with the Mexican EA (ethyl acetate) process on green coffee, before we roast it. We then air roast it fresh to order in Vancouver, WA.
How is Mexican EA different from Swiss Water?
Mexican EA uses ethyl acetate during decaffeination. Swiss Water and similar water processes use water and carbon filters instead. His Word Coffee currently roasts Mexican EA decaf, not Swiss Water. Choose based on the process you want, not a generic "decaf" label.
Does decaf still have caffeine?
Yes, a small amount can remain. Evening Grace is sold as decaf, not as caffeine-free. If you have a caffeine limit or a medical concern, follow your clinician's guidance.
How should I brew Evening Grace?
Brew it like our other coffees. Drip, pour over, French press, and espresso-style recipes all work. Start with your usual recipe, then taste and adjust. Whole bean and ground bags are both on the product page.
Can I subscribe to decaf?
Yes. Use the purchase options on the Evening Grace product page, or visit the subscribe page. We roast to order either way.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Coffee
Have questions about specialty coffee? We've got answers.
What makes His Word Coffee different from grocery store coffee?
While grocery store coffee can sit on shelves for months after roasting, our coffee is roasted to order—meaning your beans are roasted within 1-3 days of your purchase. We also use air roasting instead of drum roasting, which produces cleaner, brighter flavors without the burnt or bitter notes common in mass-produced coffee. The difference is like comparing fresh-baked bread to week-old bread.
What is air roasted coffee and why is it better?
Air roasting (also called fluid bed roasting) uses hot air to suspend and roast the coffee beans, unlike traditional drum roasting which tumbles beans on a hot metal surface. This produces more even roasting, removes chaff completely, and results in coffee with cleaner, brighter flavor notes and reduced bitterness. Air roasted coffee also stays fresher longer because there's less residual oil on the surface.
Should I buy whole bean or ground coffee?
For the freshest cup, we recommend whole bean coffee ground just before brewing. Whole beans stay fresh for 2-4 weeks, while ground coffee is best within 1-2 weeks. However, we fresh-grind our coffee just before shipping, so our ground coffee is still far fresher than anything you'll find in stores. Choose the grind size that matches your brewing method: coarse for French press, medium for drip, medium-fine for pour-over, or fine for espresso.
What's the difference between single origin and blend coffee?
Single origin coffees come from one specific region, farm, or cooperative, showcasing the unique terroir of that place—like our Ethiopian Guji with its distinctive berry and floral notes. Blends combine beans from multiple origins to create balanced, consistent flavor profiles—like our House Blend which brings together Latin American sweetness with East African brightness. Both are excellent; single origins are great for exploring unique flavors while blends offer reliable everyday enjoyment.
How should I store my coffee to keep it fresh?
Store your coffee in an airtight container in a cool, dark place—never in the refrigerator or freezer, as moisture and temperature changes degrade flavor. Our resealable bags work well, or transfer to a dedicated coffee canister. Keep away from heat, light, and strong odors. For best results, buy amounts you'll use within 2-3 weeks. Coffee doesn't "go bad" after this time, but peak flavor diminishes gradually.
Do you offer decaf coffee?
Yes. Evening Grace Decaf is our current Mexican EA (ethyl acetate) decaf coffee. Check the product page for current format, roast, and tasting-note details.
Do you have low-acid coffee for sensitive stomachs?
We do not make a measured acidity or medical-tolerance claim for any coffee. Use the current product details to compare roast and flavor, and ask a qualified clinician for guidance about reflux, GERD, or another medical concern.
