Why we love this coffee

We love coffee a little too much sometimes and this gets us out of a bind!! It's got all the rich chocolatey aromatics and flavours of caramel, dark chocolate and cherry we could ask for but with 50% less caffeine!! ½

COFFEE STORY
No Punch Backs is an homage to our love of cafe crawls and keeping a steady stream of coffee flowing all through the day without going overboard. With just enough of a dose of caffeinated coffee to keep you adequately caffeinated all day long, it’s a smart and comforting blend of coffees from Brazil and Colombia that combine to create a coffee that's 50% less caffeinated but still packs loads of flavour. No punch backs is a perfect daily choice if you’re looking for that late afternoon coffee or just want to keep refilling that favourite mug all day long.

Sour - fermented?

Disappointed. Sour, slightly funky - reminds me of fermented beans. Immediately apparent upon opening the bag. I did not get any dark chocolate or caramel. Perhaps it needs more time to mellow out? I’ve been having it every day for a week now since arriving and it still tastes off.

In any case, very different from what I expected for a Columbia/Brazil blend. Central and South America are typically my go-tos but this just isn’t it.

Sour, fermented?

Really wanted to like this... but it reminds me of fermented beans, which I was not expecting from the description. Not awful, but not at all what I thought it would be from a Brazil/Columbia blend with notes of caramel and dark chocolate. I'm not getting either of those.

Too bad. Will try for a few days and then likely toss.

Bad Acid Reflux

I sent this to my daughter because she drinks half caf. She returned it to me yesterday because it gave her terrible acid reflux. Is it supposed to be low acid????

LOVE this blend so much!

A serious game changer in helping reduce my caffeine without sacrificing delicious flavour. It is now our go to, getting it in the largest bags possible.

Thanks Detour!
