Description
Guatemalan coffees are always some of our favorites!
DECAF GUATEMALA WATER PROCESS HG 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: 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.
