Indonesia Organic Decaf Bali Hai Indonesia Blend Indonesia: Organic Decaf Bali Hai, Indonesia Blend

More like a Japanese Genmaicha , or a strong rice hull tea, than a coffee. Extremely smooth, and if you combine a dark roast with a medium or light, you may achieve the flavor profile that suits you best. Good for the "half decaf" preferred drinkers. I used this with a solid Columbian (eg, Sierra Nevada) organic for a good balanced and very smooth cup .

Worthy of a good try. Good flavor. Good body. Almost love it so I'd call it 4.5 stars.

Per some reviews I roasted it (very) dark (SR800-finishing about 500 deg), which I love. I drink my coffees strong Americano. I definitely detected a hearty earthy flavor and an overall complex effect on my tongue, which has been unusual for decafs for me. Great as a stand alone coffee. I tried it in my regular half-caf regiment and it tended to overpower the caffeinated Haitian counter-part, unlike the mild Peruvian decaf I usually use. Bali Hai is a keeper though.

I roast this dark and love the flavor. No chaff. It is my go to decaf choice.

Good quality. I dark roast it and mix with Sumatra Mandheling, Timor or Mexican Mocabe for a pleasant half-caf.

As I'm new to roasting I took it to a lighter city roast. It was very well rounded and we enjoyed the half pound. I wish we could get 1.5lb bags so we could try light, med, dark roast.

Order shipped quickly. Very accurate flavor profile.

What a great decaf. I have struggled trying to find a great one and I love this one. Smooth, flavorful, good espresso but good brewer as well.

Was skeptical of this- "how can decaf coffee taste good?" Well, this one does! It's also very forgiving with the roast as I took it past second crack and it was still delicious!

If I could only have one decaf, this would probably be it. I’ve roasted almost 10lbs of this so far and it’s consistently yielded a great cup. It’s what you want from a decaf - full body, chocolate flavor and a really satisfying finish with no bitter aftertaste. I roast on a FreshRoast SR800 and take this one to Full City +, right to the start of second crack. Decaf is a wonderful experience that is typically underestimated. I continue to be impressed by the quality of these decaf varieties. For this to be Swiss Water process rather than mountain water and taste this good is amazing. Highly recommended 👏

First decaf coffee that I have liked. I recently had to switch due to PVCs. As someone that roasts my own coffee and searched for years to find my ideal farms to source from, this has been a hard and depressing transition, but I'm thankful for finding this. It is the first decaf that roasts up and tastes bomb in a latte. I will be ordering a LOT more!

I keep coming back to this as my favorite decaf. Roasting my own has permitted me to enjoy a good cup and my friends are consistently impressed with the flavor profile possible with this decaf. I drink 95% + espresso and this bean dose well in this scenario. I roast small amounts, about 9 minutes total roasting time, to about 5 seconds into second crack and then actively cool the batch. it does seem better after about 2 day of rest.

Great quality. Fun to roast.

We are relatively new to roasting and this was a fantastic choice. We roast 8oz on a cafe genie for about 13.5 minutes with a max temp of 449 from room temp for medium to dark roast. I find it strong and tasteful enough. When brewing with a pour-over we found ourselves using a lot of grounds. But we found our favorite method is using a GSI four-cup expresso maker. This is our favorite coffee for morning (sometimes blended) and especially evenings. As noted by other reviewers this does need to de-gas.

I was looking for a Papua New Guinea decaf and decided to go with this bean. My decaf drinkers love it, and the regular drinkers state that it smells perfect. Roasting went as other decade did with no issue. Aroma was wonderful. Post grind fills the kitchen with lovely odors. There was a gap between batches and I made them a folders pot. Not happy. Glad when the Indonesian was ready to grind.

I love a full bodied coffee, and what really sold me on this coffee was the description of how smooth it was. I usually take the roast to right at second crack, and this makes for a beautiful roast. If I’m going to enjoy a dessert after supper, I will brew a couple of cups of the Bali Hai. This is a wonderful and versatile bean to roast. Get some and enjoy the flow of the baritone sax.

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.
