Guatemala Organic Decaf HHT Royal Select MWP FTO

by Kahvitauko on August 22, 2019

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.

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?
