Bali Hai Organic Decaf Indonesia Blend SWP

by ironstef on September 15, 2021

Gosh this coffee is fantastic! I cut my caffeine with decaf 50/50 just because I am so sensitive to caffeine but coffee is my favorite thing in life (I am not joking). The flavor of this just on its own is better than any other coffee of any kind I have had. Once it's roasted and off gassed for a day or two the aroma is heavenly and flavor matches it. I go just past second crack I like very dark roast and this holds up to it beautifully. I am on my 4th order of it. Rich, bold and SMOOTH. Worth every penny.

First off, I love most coffee if I roast it. I have been roasting for about 2 years now, last 9 months or so decaf only. I agree with Mr. Snow that this needs to be medium dark to dark roast for best experience. But, I did try a nice blond roast, stopping just as first crack gets going and cooling quickly. This has made for a nice summer coffee that is more enjoyable in warmer weather. I tend to like the Peruvian decaf but hold this one on par with the best I have had. Also, fun easy roast.

I bought the decaf sampler. I started with the Morning Glory. WOW is all I could say. This is better than some of the leaded beans I use. My wife has always disliked coffee, now I am roasting double batches. Great stuff. SR540, 2m @ 9/9. 4 m @ 5/9 or until 400°, apprx 4 min @ 4/9 until start of rollling 2nd crack.

One of my favorites. I drink 1/2 decaf and 1/2 reg coffee during the morning, then decaf at night. This one blends well with regular coffees and by itself is really nice -never bitter even though I roast it until it is oily.

I am new to coffee roasting, generally drink 1//2 reg and 1/2 decaf. And I have always liked dark roasted coffee. This was really great. It had a really rich taste to it but was not bitter at all. I will be ordering more of this one!

My favorite decaf coffee. Definitely best at a dark roast. Rich full tasting coffee with hints of cocoa.

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

Great coffee as usual! Lightning fast service! I'm always totally pleased with CBC!

I’m always on look out for better decaf. I like the darker roast with this one similar to earthy caffeinated beans from same region.

I am not new to roasting, I’ve been buying coffee from CBC for 15+ years sooo much fun trying and testing coffees from all over the world. My wife likes to limit her caffeine intake so we tried the Bali SWP WOW! I hate to say it but it blows away a lot of my favorite beans away! I host coffee parties all the time and of course my caffeinated coffee goes the quickest, when I run out I’ll sneak in and pour the decaf craft into the caffeinated craft so I don’t have to pour out what is left, I get remarks like “saving the best for last?” I just smile and say “you caught me!”

Bali Hai Organic Decaf is the best decaf I have roasted. It is also the best Organic decaf I have tasted. It stands up well next to both decaf Peru and decaf Columbia, which are the standard decafs in my New England area.

I drink regular coffee but my wife can’t handle the caffeine so I ordered decaf for her. I had to roast it a little darker than regular coffee but the results were incredible. Perfect strong coffee taste.Better than some of the regular coffee I’ve tried. I make my afternoon espresso with it and love it. Definitely 10

A great decaffeinated bean. Roast to a medium dark. First crack plus 3 minutes. Light nutty aroma and taste. Excellent as a morning Joe or a evening desert coffee.

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.

I'm not a coffee expert but I've been roasting for about 3 years. This is one of my favorites by far. I roasted it 30 sec into 2nd crack. ..smooth,rich, I've used it for cappachinos, and Americanas and European coffee. I ordered 3 more lbs.

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.

I tried many decafs and for it tasting just like regular coffe it is my favorite. This coffee allows me to still drink during day after my 4 cups of regular in morning with out messing with my blood pressure

I'm new at roasting. But, I made this decaf and was blown away by the taste. It is strong and tastes amazing. I am not normally a decaf drinker, but I work the graveyard shift. Every once in awhile, when I get home in the morning, I craved a cup of coffee before I went to sleep. Now, I can have my satisfying cup, feel like I am drinking the real thing, and still be able to get my full 8 hours. Thank you, Terry, for recommending this to me. Cathy

An excellent coffee even for those who don't usually drink decaf coffees. Have offered it to my "caffeine-only" friends, who are now convinced that a decaf coffee can be just as pleasing. This one has become my favorite. For those who want to spend a nice evening with a lot of flavor, but don't want the buzz. Has a very smooth aftertaste. For those who try it for the first time, I always get a "oooh".
