Description
Guatemalan coffees are always some of our favorites!
This is a very freshly processed new Guat decaf offering; freshness in processing is always key in tasty decafs.
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 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.
