Decaffeinated Peru Org. Royal Select MWP
Are you trying to find that smooth, rich, chocolaty, and herbal coffee to warm you up in the afternoon or maybe for your favorite after-dinner drinks that don’t keep you up all night? Look no further; this is the bean for you!
Hailing from producers across Peru, this coffee comes from a sustainable aggregate lot, leaving you with a perfect blend of Peruvian beans that brew a delightfully balanced decaf.
This coffee is curated from lots that the Royal team has selected based on cup profile, physical preparation, and potential to express excellently once decaffeinated. 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:
With notes of malt and dark chocolate, cola, and citrus, this decaf Peru makes an excellent addition to the afternoon or a warm ending to the evening. Smooth and clean on the palate. Low in acidity and medium-bodied, floral tones up front bring life to the cup.
Roasting Notes:
Avoid light roasting with this bean—you may experience the taste of the decaffeination process than the bean itself. We prefer a full-city roast, giving the bean a nice chocolatey kick without burning out crisp, lighter tones. Works well from a city plus to French. Be careful not to take it too dark; it will get edgy in the darker roasting points.
Decaffeinated Colombian Royal Select MWP
A nice and fresh lot of MWP decaf!
During the MWP (mountain 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:
A good cup from medium to dark roasts. Fuller bodied, lower acidity, rich & clean cup with a fairly sweet edge. Nutty and chocolate tones dominate the cup profile, hints of a green tea like spice at lighter roasts. Smoky, slightly roasty tones poke out at the darker roasts. More nutty than chocolaty light-medium roasted, more chocolaty than nutty medium to dark roasted.
Roasting Notes:
MWP being soaked to remove the caffeine, provides very nice and even roasting. Very low chaff, and very easy to roast. Like all Colombians this is a versatile bean for roasting. Darker roasts convey wonderful smoky tones and outstanding sweetness while lighter roasts (with decaf, avoid cinnamon roast points) will deliver a crisper cup. A great coffee to experiment with at different roasting points to experience all this coffee has to offer.
Decaffeinated Nicaraguan Segovia FTO SWP
A tasty fresh run of Nicaraguan Decaf! Although a larger production coffee from small holders, it is certified FTO making it a feel good and tasty offering.
During the Swiss Water process, the green coffee is hydrated to expand the beans for caffeine extraction. The hydrated green coffee is then introduced to Green Coffee Extract (GCE), a unique solution of concentrated coffee solubles that allows the caffeine to leave the green coffee via osmosis while minimizing the loss of desired flavor compounds. Once the caffeine has been removed the green coffee is re-dried and re-bagged for transport, and the GCE is filtered of its caffeine through proprietary carbon filters and recycled to be used again
Tasting Notes:
A very cool decaf. Malty with good body and sweeter edge to it. Lighter roasting comes of a little grassy but medium to dark will produce a wonderful & rich cup. Thicker, lower acidity and smooth. Darker roasts will add some smoky tones which tends to compliment the more malty cup profile. A great everyday drinker for you decaf fans.
Roasting Notes:
Avoid light roasts – Medium to dark will be the way to go. A little setup time helps it lose any sharper edges in the taste. Low chaff and fairly even roasting.

I don’t drink decaf but roast it sometimes for a friend. I bought a different decaf, did not care for it (though my friend liked it) and decided to try this sampler pack. I often like to blend beans (after roasting separately) and found that when I combined these in equal parts and brewed it, I actually liked it. It’s not quite like my favorites but if I were really wanting a decaf, I would definitely drink this.

I drink decaf every evening. People think decaf tastes different and is somehow inferior, but this set is amazing. It’s even better when you roast them all and blend them together. The Sumatra is great City+ with the others light.
