Guatemala Organic Decaf HHT Royal Select Huehuetenango

by Philip L Miller on August 24, 2022

I bought 10 pounds of the Huehuetenango decaf MWP. I don't know what MWP is. I am familiar with the municipio (pronounced Way Way ten ango) and coffee grown there. I roasted about 1 pound , taking it to City. It is OK. I'll try going darker. If this go well I will come back and boost the score. My roasting may keep these beans from tasting as good as they might. My first impression of Coffee Bean Corral is very good. They get 5 stars.

This is easily one of the best decafs I’ve ever had. I was surprised at how flavorful it was and how it didn’t taste “like decaf”. Full city roast on my Bullet brought out smooth chocolatey flavors with notes of hazelnuts, brown sugar, and some citrus essences. Definitely will be getting some more.

Roast on the darker side FC+, wonderfully smooth.

The best decaf I have ever roasted. I had given up on decaf but I'm a fan of Guatemalan beans and thought I'd give it a try. This one can be roasted to city plus and give you most of the character of a caffeinated bean. Reordered five pounds.

Only need one word - Amazing! My customers love it. I stop the roast at the first signs of the 2C. Makes a nice rich, smooth and flavorful cup. Can not tell you are drinking a Decaf.

This is so good. Best decaf coffee to me. I tried Bali and I more like this Guatemala. Nice aroma, nice favor. I roasted it to 1C + 3 mins, water loss 10%.

There is nothing wrong with their beans. I just cannot find a decaf coffee or tea that tastes good. I know this roasted quickly. It only took about 4 minutes. The coffee reminds me of taster's choice instant coffee. I don't know why decaf tastes so different than full caffeine? Anybody have suggestions?

The best organic decaf I've tasted yet--and I'm new to home roasting, so the beans have to carry part of the load in producing flavors. :> I take it solidly into 2C after a quick ramp-up then extension of 1C (Behmor 1600+ AB). It's my Coffee Posse's favorite decaf. Impressions include Mozartkugeln (confection), Calimyrna fig syrup, spiced cocoa, and "that wood--what's it called, the dark blue-red one, the shavings come off crooked." Never figured out what that meant, but it should give a sense of how engaging/evocative this bean is, and not in a gimmicky way. Just nice and solid. It's also wonderful for half-caf. Right now I'm drinking it combined with the Brazil Daterra Sweet Blue RFA and it's a corker. The two together bring up the sweet-nut, spice, and cocoa notes of each...and in a slightly different way than separately. Thanks, CBC, for bringing such amazing quality to the reach of just regular people like us.

A bit acidic for my taste, but I got for my husband and he loved it.

Took it about halfway into 2nd crack and have really enjoyed having this late day cup to enjoy. Good solid dark roast decaf choice.
