Sourced from the Popayán region of Cauca, Colombia, 40 Winks Decaf represents a focused approach to decaffeinated offerings from Corvus Coffee Roasters. This lot utilizes the Castillo varietal, a plant widely cultivated across Colombia · Popayán, Cauca for its resilience and consistent production. By employing a washed method, the roaster aims to highlight the inherent characteristics of the bean while removing caffeine content.

In the cup, this coffee presents a profile defined by brown sugar, berries, and tobacco. While washed coffees are often celebrated for their clean, bright acidity, the specific sensory experience can vary significantly based on the decaffeination process and roast profile. To better understand how these descriptors align with broader industry standards, enthusiasts often consult the flavor wheel to identify the nuances between the sweetness of sugars and the earthier, savory notes found in tobacco-toned coffees.
