Popayan Decaf

Forget what you know about decaf. Mandarin acidity, sugar-cane sweetness and notes of red fruit and chocolate, with 99.9% of the caffeine removed.

Sourced from the Popayan region, this decaffeinated offering from Fábrica Coffee Roasters highlights the potential for complexity in non-caffeinated profiles. While decaffeination processes are often scrutinized for their impact on the bean, this selection maintains a distinct character defined by mandarin acidity, red fruit undertones, and a foundational sugar-cane sweetness balanced by chocolate notes.

When evaluating such profiles, it is helpful to reference a flavor wheel to better categorize the interplay between the bright citrus acidity and the deeper, dessert-like sweetness present in the cup. Generally, coffees from the Popayan region are recognized for their consistent quality and balanced cup profiles, making them a reliable choice for those seeking a nuanced experience without the caffeine. This specific lot demonstrates how careful processing can preserve the inherent characteristics of the origin, providing a sophisticated option for any time of day.
