How do we feel about this coffee

It feels soft, smooth and decadent like a fresh apricot, salted caramel drizzled milk chocolate and a late-night McCain Deep & Delicious cake for dessert.

Coffee Story
Amatenango de la Frontera is a region near the Guatemalan border in Mexico. The coffee grown here is similar to Guatemala's well-known Huehuetenango growing region. This decaf coffee is processed using the Mountain Water Process. The coffee is treated with a water solution to extract the caffeine. The water is then filtered to capture the flavour molecules. After that, the caffeine-free water is reintroduced to the green coffee, allowing the flavour and other compounds to be restored to the beans. The coffee is then dried and prepared for export.

Phenomenal decaf. No, scratch that. Phenomenal *coffee*.

This is one of those decaf coffees that'll have you questioning whether or not there really IS caffeine in it. There's this tendency to talk bout decaf in somewhat disparaging terms. "Oh, it's pretty good... for decaf."

But for this particular roast, you'll be saying, "wow, this is fantastic... period."

I love coffee, but I've had to pull back on caffeine because it disagrees with my medication and messes with my sleep. With this roast, I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything.

Heck, I'm even *gaining* something: the ability to have coffee whenever I want, even late. What a pleasure.

I hope you guys continue to explore decaf and bring even more roasts to choose from.

Best Decaf Espresso I've Ever Had

I have had a subscription with Detour for almost 5 years and my preferred blend is the Punch Buggy. I find this pretty similar in taste profile: sweet and balanced. This is the best Decaf Espresso I've ever found.
