This coffee is so so good! I have loved all of the coffee I have ordered from here, but this is by far my favorite.

This was the first decaf I've roasted, and I have to point out that although the beans get very dark quickly, even before first crack, you need to be patient and wait for first crack. I noticed how dark the beans were and took them out even though only a few cracks were heard. Don't make my mistake, keep roasting until first crack even if they look very dark. Online I've read that decaf darkens more quickly, so amateurs (like me) should not rely on color. That being said, this made for an amazing light roast. So many flavors, all very, very nice together. Flower, fruity, but not citrus or overly bright. Roasted only for 6 min. on a high temp, after 36 hours the taste is impressive for not reaching first crack.

This is my favorite decaf right now. Using it for espresso using Rancilio Sylvia machine. Medium roasting yields lovely floral notes, a bit darker for chocolate. I'm using an old iRoast hot air roaster. Hoping to find a similar roaster for when this one dies.

Still my favorite, and I've tried a lot of decafs in my 30 years of roasting. Best if left medium, just after first crack, which is 6 minutes in my 1400w air popper. Ready to go after degassing for 24 hours, a little better after 48. Sweet, fruity, delicious as an after dinner treat with a little cream. Drinkable all day long, it's our house coffee.
