Bali Hai Organic Decaf Indonesia Blend SWP

by Tommy on December 11, 2018

To me, this lot of Bali is not as tasty as the previous lot. Not saying it isn't enjoyable, but that I was probably spoiled by the previous lot. I roast 90 g for 10 minutes in my Fresh Roast 500. 5 minutes at heat low, manually hitting Cool for 10 seconds every half minute, then heat high until 1st crack for 2 minutes, then heat medium for 3 minutes to complete the roast. 14.9% weight reduction. De-gas for at least 72 hours.

This bean is good when roasted darker. I tried a city roast and it was not very tasty. This bean helped accomplish my goal of satisfying my craving for coffee without the caffeine. Also, I wait 2-3 days after roasting before brewing. Normally, I start brewing my caffeine roasts after 24 hours and am satisfied with the taste. Not the case with this one.

This is there best decaf, by my judgment, and I haven't even tried them all--yet. I'd be surprised if there's a better one available. Also, I didn't taste any earthy tones, which I equate to a dried grass smell/taste.

We love the Bali SWP coffee. Great flavor and body, a customer favorite. The best decaf coffee selection that we can find!

I tried roasting it in my 1400w airpopper. With no low setting available on the machine, the roast came out uneven, with some going well into the 2nd crack, while some still just at first crack. That being said, the taste is still quite good. I agree with others that waiting 48-72 hours produces the best flavor. I am new to Bali, especially decaf, and am favorably impressed. Just need to try in a different roaster next time.J

Bali Hai is a delicious decaf coffee. My husband and I are new to roasting but we’ve found that it roasts to our liking just a few seconds into 2nd crack. It’s dark and nutty tasting but also smooth as if it has cream in it already. Delightful and favorite bean so far!

The best decaf I have tried that did not taste like a normal decaf that one would find in the general public stores

This is an excellent decaf. It has great flavor and is clean finishing. The Swiss Water Process (SWP) means water is used to decaffeinate the beans instead of mild acids. I generally roast this City+ with good results.

I recently purchased a fresh roast sr500 and roasted the Bali Hai Decaf. Taking it right to the second crack produces an incredibly dark and rich tasting coffee more than suitable for an espresso.

Amazing Decaf! Doesn't feel like a decaf! Great flavor! Roast medium or dark! I can easily see why it has such great reviews.

Totally enjoy this bean. A great decaf..very satisfying. I roasted it in my Bemor plus to 30 seconds into 2nd crack. I will be getting more of this.

This was a great find! I roasted to a light french roast. My husband, my 4 year old, and 9 year old loved this decaf coffee. I added a small amount chocolate flavoring oil for my kids. They take it with a bit of milk. Everyone loves this coffee and we can't wait for it to be back in stock!
