Decaffeinated Papua New Guinea Org. – Siane Chimbu – Royal Select MWP

During the water process, the green coffee is pre-soaked in water to expand the beans for caffeine extraction. The hydrated green coffee is then introduced to a unique solution of concentrated coffee solubles that draw out the caffeine while minimizing the loss of flavor compounds. Once the caffeine has been removed the green coffee is re-dried and re-bagged for transport, and the extract solution is filtered of its caffeine and recycled to be used again.

Tasting Notes:  The cup is fuller bodied, lower acidity and rich.  A bit more potent cup than many of the Central/South American decafs but retains that more creamy chocolaty cup profile. Hints of an herbal spice can be found making the cup a bit more interesting.

Roasting Notes: Easy to roast, a nice processing batch. Roasts fairly even and is tasty at a little fuller roast points. For a milder everyday drinker, a nice stronger medium roast (a little before 2nd crack) is good. Darker roasts (into 2nd crack) get  bolder and a little more semi-sweet chocolaty but the roasty notes compliment the cup and darker roast fans will love it.
