'This coffee is a rare thing, a decaf that doesn't taste like decaf! - and it's maybe the first decaf we've had that I can see myself drinking regularly. Can you tell?'

This is really delicious decaf. Although decaf processing has come a long way in recent years, it's rare that we find coffee that has come through decaffeination unscathed. Perhaps it's because this coffee is specifically selected straight after harvesting for decaf, in another sign that producers are taking decaf more seriously. 

In the cup, you'll find some delicious red apple acidity, smooth toffee sweetness and a milk chocolate finish. It reminds me of toffee apples. Whether you're drinking this as filter coffee or espresso, with or without milk, you'll be enjoying clean, sweet and well rounded coffee. Enjoy.

A Great Decaf for the Cafetiere

You can grind this to espresso if you want, but I found the flavours in from these beans came out exceptionally well when coarsly ground and steeped in the cafetiere for at least 5 minutes. Well balanced chocolatey flavours.

Thanks a lot for leaving a reveiw Callum, we really appreciate it! Good to hear you're enjoying this coffee in a cafetiere too - a much underrated brewing method these days.
