Context

This decaffeinated espresso from Monogram Coffee showcases the Castillo varietal grown in Colombia's coffee regions. The washed process highlights clean, refined flavors typical of this preparation method, with the roaster identifying milk chocolate, nougat, and caramel notes—a sweet, rounded profile well-suited to espresso preparation. Castillo, bred for disease resistance and productivity, tends to produce balanced cups with chocolate-forward character, and this decaffeinated expression maintains that approachability while removing caffeine. The combination of origin terroir and varietal characteristics creates a gentle, indulgent cup without the stimulant.
