Context

Sourced from Active Harvest Regions in Colombia, this DECAF offering from Devoción highlights the potential for quality in decaffeinated lots. While decaffeination processes can sometimes mute the inherent characteristics of a bean, washed coffees—which undergo a specific cleaning method to remove the fruit pulp before drying—often retain a clean, focused profile. In this instance, the roaster emphasizes a profile defined by sugar cane and chocolatey sweetness.

When evaluating such coffees, it is helpful to reference the flavor wheel to identify the nuances of these sugary and cocoa-toned notes. Because this coffee is processed using the washed method, the cup clarity is typically prioritized, allowing the base sweetness of the Colombian origin to shine through without the interference of fruit fermentation often found in other techniques. This selection serves as a testament to the roaster's commitment to maintaining flavor integrity throughout the decaffeination process.
