DECAF SINGLE ORIGIN

Rotating Decaf Single Origin: Mexico Tonga 5

This deliciously sweet and fully washed coffee traveled from Chiapas, Mexico to Oakland for tasting, then to Canada for Swiss water processing, then... here. Carob, chocolate and navel orange flavors await you.

Four Barrel Coffee's decaffeinated offering from Mexico's Chiapas region presents an interesting opportunity to explore how the washed process shapes a coffee's character. The roaster identifies carob and chocolate notes alongside bright navel orange—a combination that suggests both body and acidity working in balance. While decaffeinated coffees sometimes face perception challenges, this lot demonstrates that careful sourcing and processing can yield nuanced flavor complexity. The presence of citrus notes alongside deeper carob tones indicates the coffee retains the kind of sensory dimension typically associated with quality single origins. For those seeking to explore Chiapas coffees or curious about decaf options that extend beyond simple flavor reduction, this represents a methodical approach to origin expression. Consult the flavor wheel to map these tasting notes within the broader spectrum of coffee sensory profiles.
