Description
Produced with premium beans with good 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:
A very nicely balanced chocolaty and nutty cup profile, a bit on the sweeter side. The taste is fuller bodied with a nice walnut chocolaty tone mixing with a smooth, sweeter, mellow finish. Pleasing hints of smoke and spice finish off this great Colombian coffee at darker roast points. Lighter roasts can show hints of floral but all in all a lower acidity cup.
Roasting Notes:
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.

I love a good medium-dark or dark roast espresso, and while I normally only drink my first (caffeinated) shot of the day as an espresso, this decaf is so good that I have had multiple roasts with it where I will drink at least one shot as an espresso because it’s so good. Typically, I order my decaf beans expecting to make an Americano with the espresso, and this is great for that, and probably my favorite decaf of 2025.
