Hachiko:
The Special One
This coffee gets the full Wilton Benitez treatment: a meticulous thermal shock process with two rounds of sterilization, fermentation, and a dramatic warm-to-cold rinse to amplify sweetness and complexity. The decaf magic happens at an EA lab in Colombia, where a sugarcane byproduct gently coaxes the caffeine out, leaving all the vibrant flavors intact.
About The Beans
Grown in the high-altitude terrain of Piendamó in Colombia’s famed Cauca region, Hachiko showcases the full spectrum of what’s possible when precision meets terroir. Fertile volcanic soils, temperate weather, and diverse microclimates shape the region’s bright, fruit-forward coffees—and this one goes even further.
Crafted by processing innovator Wilton Benitez, these beans undergo an exacting thermal shock method: two rounds of sterilization and fermentation, finished with a warm-to-cold rinse that enhances sweetness and clarity. Once perfected, the caffeine is gently removed using a sugarcane-based Ethyl Acetate process—preserving the vibrant profile while dialing down the buzz.
The result is a decaf unlike any other: intensely sweet, strikingly complex, and a true expression of Colombian craftsmanship.

Questions. Meet Answers.
Seriously? You only do decaf??
Yes, Simon, we only do decaf. Almost every coffee brand you can think of has a host of regular choices and one single decaf choice, and from our experience that choice is the worst one. It's over-roasted, and the beans they chose to start with were bottom of the barrel. It doesn't have to be that way. It shouldn't be that way.
Decaf drinkers deserve a legit coffee. It's about time someone took it seriously. Too long has decaf been passed by when picking teams for dodgeball.
Also it's a very odd thing to get excited about decaf. Full acknowledged.
Does decaf cost more than regular coffee?
Good question McDuck! It takes extra steps to remove the caffeine from coffee beans without losing that delish flavor.
The process basically entails the original producer (farmer) to take an extra step of shipping their green beans (pre roasted coffee beans) to their decaffeination processor of choice.
That decaffeination process takes labor, especially if it's the more sophisticated processes we prefer which preserve the taste more effectively and don't use nasty chemicals!
Then the decaffeinated coffee is returned to the producer who works with a distributor to get it from their home country all the way to us in Greenville, SC where we can roast those sweet sweet beans.
Overall on average it can add $2 per bag of coffee in overall cost. We promise to keep an eye on that with and for you though and reduce it when we can.
The real question I have is how you were able to jump into piles of metal money and not break your neck. I've been wondering that since I was a kid.
What's your closing argument for "no chemical" decaf?
Hey Judy. Hope you're comfy up there. We believe in keeping things o' natural. No Methylene Chloride here (a common chemical used to decaffeinate many coffees). Just clean decaffeination techniques here at Wimp. Case closed.
Why should I believe your decaf is any different from the usual tasteless crap?
Hey Roy. Quite frankly we just source better beans. Most coffee companies think so poorly of decaf they just find whatever beans are cheap and available and they roast the living shit out of them. Which, we've found, gives the decafs a kind of ashtray taste. Barf.
It doesn't have to be that way. We source higher quality beans from producers who's names we know, and who's decaffeination processes are clean, creative, and cutting edge. Better beans + hella good roasting. = better coffees. It's easy math.
Seriously it's called Wimp? But why tho?
Hey Wade. Can we call you wade? You already know this story. Your good friend Dopinder is a perfect Wimp. I'm 100% sure he's a decaf drinker who would kill for a cup that actually tasted to his standards. Unfortunately, you and many others have under appreciated Dopinder at different times, but that dude just keeps the heat on, and turns out to be one of our favorite characters. No super powers, just hilariously good timing, and a relentless pursuit of what he's passionate for.
Wimp is making decaf deadly good bro. HMU and we'll send you a fresh bag. Share it with your old lady roommate. She seems rad.
Are you saying everyone should go decaf?
Not at all, Gordon. Not everyone wants the same restaurant right? That's dumb. But it's like saying that all pizza restaurants have to use dairy free cheese, and every other type of cuisine gets to use the full cheese gamut — dairy and all. How dumb would that be. We're here to help turn the tide. We're not alone, but we're gonna be more vocal than anyone out there.
We're some badass decaf motherfuckers. Not really, we're super sweet guys, but it's kind of fun to say.
Decaf deserves better quality, better flavor, better choice, and naturally clean. We can do all that. It's not a walk in the park, but it's gotta be done.
Feel me?
