Every pack needs a Tico. He's not the biggest dog in the room, but he's the one impossible to overlook: curious, friendly, and always first to join the moment. Tico doesn't need size to make an impression; his character, charm and loyalty do all the work.
Why the Name Fits This Coffee
Decaf coffee is too often treated as an afterthought, but Tico is built to prove the opposite: that a coffee can be smooth, comforting and full of flavour without needing caffeine to earn its place in the cup.
Like Vira Lata, Tico is sourced from the same Brazilian growing region. The rolling hills of southern Minas Gerais, brought to market through the Cocatrel Cooperative, one of the country's largest and longest-running coffee cooperatives, founded in Tres Pontas back in 1961. Cocatrel today represents thousands of farming families, more than half of them working plots of less than 10 hectares, with every delivery tagged and tracked by QR code so growers know exactly where their coffee ends up. Lots are only selected once they've passed a rigorous cupping process for a clean, sweet character.
The result is a coffee grown with the same care as its caffeinated relatives, then gently decaffeinated without losing what makes it worth drinking in the first place.
The Result in the Cup
Rich cocoa notes and a gentle hint of vanilla come together in a smooth, silky-bodied cup. Comforting rather than heavy, and just as satisfying as an espresso, flat white, cappuccino or latte. It's the coffee built for slower mornings and evenings when the moment calls for something delicious, minus the buzz.
Small dog. Big character. No caffeine needed.
