I use a Fresh Roast 540 and using a Decaf roasting protocol found on YouTube, I take it to FC. I am so pleased to find a DeCaf that I can’t distinguish from a caffeinated coffee. Its flavor is as described in CBC notes and I especially like its low acidity.

This is our go-to Decaf. So why just 4 stars, I'm a tough grader and reserve 5 stars for exceptional coffee. This coffee delivers a chocolate, nutty flavor when roasted City +. I also blend it with an Ethiopian Decaf roasted light that is a also very good coffee.

It was my first time roasting a decaf bean and after finding a reliable protocol for roasting decaf, this roast did not disappoint. As an espresso, the flavor is rich and smooth, notes of dark chocolate stand out. It also isn’t obvious that it’s decaf. 😋

I recently bought 50 pounds of Brazil’s Mogiana Decaf. Using a very inexpensive roaster that is visually indistinguishable from a tilted crock put with a stirring paddle, I performed a pairwise comparison of the Mogiana and a much more expensive African Decaf. I roasted 10 pounds of each, 6-8 mugs at a time, switching back and forth. This took place over about 100 days in February - May of this year. I had plenty of time and plenty of coffee to form an opinion. I was happy with both but a bit happier with the Mogiana. There was no reason to pay for the expensive stuff. Money talks. I bet on Brazil
Decaf Mogiana, Sul de Minas. Let’s see what I think after 50 pounds of the stuff.
I give the Mogiana Decaf a solid 4 stars. I need to leave room for coffee so good that I abandon my first love.

I have done three roasts and am "dialing in" this coffee. I think it has the potential for 4 to 5 stars when I get it right. This is my first order from Coffee Bean Corral and I am impressed with the service and quality of the green coffee. I experienced NO defects in the green coffee. This coffee could end up being our go-to decaf.

I roast using a Behmor and these are my go to for a consistent smooth cup of coffee. I don't like fruity or flowery tastes so this is the perfect bean for me. I roast to a medium just before 2nd crack and cool them quickly. With Brazil beans there is always a lot of chaff and a little more smoke. So if that doesn't bother you this is the bean you need.

I roasted this to a Full City roast in a Gene Cafe Roaster (preheat, 400 until browning, then full 482).
The aroma is sweet and spicy, but the flavor is chocolate and walnut as described. Not crazy complex, but very hearty and ZERO decaf flavor. I like the simplicity of it. I'm amazed at how smooth it is.

This is my go-to decaf right now. I've tried several (Ethiopia, Guatemala, Honduras, Venezuela), and while all were good, this one seems bullet-proof for the taste I'm looking for. City to City+ puts the flavor and mouth feel exactly where I want it. I roast 110 g with a Fresh Roast 540 at a time. Every one I serve it to, whether they want black, sugar only, cream only, or "latte" loves it. Smooth, low acidity, but good coffee aroma and flavor.

My first try with a decaf and was quite pleased with the smooth chocolate flavor. It also worked well with a blend with the Dominican Ramirez Estate honey process coffee for a half cafe coffee.

I am blown away that a decaf could taste this good. Roasted to a city+, it has a slight citrus and nutty flavor while maintaining a sweetness as well. Very happy with it and will certainly purchase more. Nobody to whom I have served this coffee had even a thought that it might be decaf!

This is a big hit with our Decaf drinkers. It has a great flavor. Revelation of coffee without the caffeine.

This is the best decaf coffee we have been able to find. It has a lot of flavor that is rich and warm. We love it!!

One of the better decafs I've purchased from Coffee Bean Corral. Pronounced sweetness followed by chocolate and nuttiness makes this decaf a winner. I roasted mine to FC+, which I feel adequately highlights the Brazilian characteristics of the coffee.
