Hi all been advised to change to decaf for my flat whites, so looking for some recommendations I usually go for chocolate/nutty tastes and just nearly finished both rave decaf offerings as I usually ordered from them before signature/ Suarez but they weren’t as strong as the full caffeine beans, any help what to try next?

I'm drinking quite a lot of decaf now because of migraines. Doc advised to reduce caffeine intake. I've tried quite few places and so far Square Mile has come up top and Iron & Fire also doing a good job. Raves offering is alright also but is noticeably a lower quality.
Thanks just ordered a kilo from extract but will try square mile next time, sorry but I have to agree with the rave decaf no real coffee taste just a weak blend

I think Rave has grown quite substantially in the last 5 years and it's not the same as when I was using them 10 years ago. Quality has definitely dropped a notch.

Totally agree. Part of the reason I moved away was bean variations weren't all that and they were just endlessly emailing me with pointless competitions and sticker awards etc. Blimey, just stick to your core business and stop with the marketing rubbish. Redber offer a large range of beans that I enjoy.
Rave just emailed me back after I sent them photos last night and simply stated 'sometimes this happens during the process'. They're sending me 2x bags of Monsoon again though so now I have too many beans to hand! I just need to get through this existing bag of messy beans.
