Description
Guatemalan coffees are always some of our favorite! This is a very freshly processed new Guat decaf offering; freshness in processing is always key in tasty decafs. Certified up the wazoo, this is a coffee you can feel good about in just about every regard.
Processed via the MWP method – Mountain Water Processing, this is part of the Royal Select line of decafs, which only use premium screens and lots instead of the usually “leftovers” that commercial coffee uses.
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
Altitude: 1650 masl
Varieties: Bourbon, Catuai, and Caturra
Tasting Notes: A very nice lower acidity, medium to full bodied, malty and chocolaty cup of coffee. Lighter roasts promote sweetness but also have a hint of decaf tone to it. Medium to dark roasts are hard to tell as decaf, creamy with a retained sweeter edge , a little soft fruit tone that pops out and a little complimenting smoky tone if you hit 2nd crack.
Roasting Notes: A nice easy to roast decaf. Err a little darker than lighter and you will always have a tasty cup. A quicker roasts leaves it a little thinner but sweeter and crisper, a slow roast will build body and creamy factor but will lose a little sweetness.
