Decaf Rebel Blend

We combine beans from South America and roast them to three levels, creating a rich, smooth coffee with a fruity finish. This decaf version of our popular dark-roasted blend supports CBD’s local artists through its community arts fund. For every pound of Rebel Blend coffee sold or brewed at Coffee By Design coffeehouses during the year, $1 is donated to the Rebel Blend Fund.

Flavor Notes:  Dark Chocolate + Blueberries + Smooth

Roast Level:  Dark

The Decaf Rebel Blend, crafted by Coffee By Design, represents a thoughtful approach to South American coffee production. By focusing on a profile defined by dark chocolate, blueberries, and a smooth mouthfeel, this blend offers a rich, accessible experience for those seeking a decaffeinated option without sacrificing depth. While decaffeination processes can sometimes alter the structural integrity of the bean, skilled roasting techniques are often employed to preserve the inherent sweetness and body characteristic of the region’s output.

When evaluating the nuances of such a blend, enthusiasts often look to the flavor wheel to categorize the interplay between deep, cocoa-toned base notes and the brighter, fruit-forward acidity of the blueberry components. Understanding these sensory markers helps in identifying how different processing methods influence the final cup, allowing drinkers to better appreciate the balance achieved in this specific roast.
