Rich and creamy decaf coffee beans

Profile

  • Flavor: Rich, velvety, with pronounced creamy mouthfeel and subtle sweet notes (caramel, toasted nuts).

  • Roast: Medium–medium-dark to enhance body and bring out chocolatey and caramel tones without bitterness.

  • Origin: Often a blend of Latin American beans for balanced acidity and African/Asian beans for body and complexity.

  • Decaffeination: Look for Swiss Water Process or CO2—methods that preserve flavor and minimize chemical residues.

Tasting notes

  • Aroma: Warm, inviting scent with hints of cocoa and baked caramel.

  • First sip: Smooth, full-bodied texture; mild sweetness up front.

  • Midpalate: Creamy, low acidity; flavors of milk chocolate, toffee, and roasted hazelnut.

  • Finish: Clean, lingering creaminess with gentle bittersweet cocoa.

Brewing tips

  • Grind: Medium for drip and pour-over; slightly coarser for French press to enhance body.

  • Water temperature: 90–96°C (195–205°F) to extract sweetness without over-extraction.

  • Ratio: Start 1:15–1:17 (coffee:water by weight) and adjust to taste.

  • Brew time: 3–4 minutes for pour-over; 4–5 minutes for French press to maximize creamy body.

  • Milk: If you want an even creamier cup, add steamed milk or a splash of light cream—this complements the natural flavors without overpowering them.

Buying and storage

  • Buy whole beans and grind just before brewing for best flavor.

  • Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place away from heat and moisture.

  • Use within 2–4 weeks of roast date for optimal freshness.

Pairings

  • Best with pastries like almond croissant, banana bread, or shortbread.

  • Complements mild cheeses or a simple chocolate dessert.

Who it’s for

  • Decaf drinkers who want a satisfying, indulgent cup with full body and creamy texture.

  • People sensitive to caffeine who still enjoy rich coffee flavor.
