Variety: Mixed
Profile: Orange, Milk Chocolate, Hazelnuts
This coffee is made of a blend of cherries produced by smallholder farmers in the region of Corquin. This coffee has been decaffeinated in Germany using a water method (H2O):
At the beginning of the water decaffeination process, the silver skins are dissolved by steam treatment and separated in a countercurrent air flow. The water-soluble substances, including the caffeine, are then extracted from the green coffee beans with water. The caffeine is removed from the resulting solution using activated carbon. The decaffeinated solution is then added back to the intermediately dried beans. The final drying ensures that the water content of the coffee beans is returned to its original moisture content.
Over the last few years we have had a change of heart about decaf. Whereas before we viewed it as a necessary evil over time we have come to accept it as an important and delicious coffee in its own right. We sampled over 20 different decaffeinated coffees before deciding on this one as we really wanted something that stands out. This coffee is versatile across a range of brew methods but really shines on espresso or French press.

“Ooh, it gets dark, it gets lonely
On the other side from you
I pine a lot, I find the lot
Falls through without you
I’m coming back love, cruel Heathcliff
My one dream, my only master”
