Decaf Chicago House Blend

Our Chicago House Blend is inspired by the genre of electronic dance music that originated in Chicago in the early 1980s.

Who says decaf coffee has to be flavorless?  With notes of melon, caramel candy and dark chocolate, this coffee is roasted to a medium roast to retain the sweetness and complexity of the original coffees.

The Decaf Chicago House Blend, crafted by Passion House Coffee, offers a sophisticated profile sourced from Guatemala. This selection utilizes the washed processing method, a technique often employed to highlight the inherent clarity and brightness of the bean. By removing the fruit flesh before drying, producers can achieve a clean cup that emphasizes the structural integrity of the coffee.

In the cup, this blend presents a complex interplay of sweetness and acidity, ranging from delicate notes of melon, honey, and lemon zest to the grounding richness of caramel candy, dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and almond. When evaluating such a diverse array of flavors, referencing a flavor wheel can be a helpful tool for identifying these specific nuances. This blend demonstrates that decaffeinated coffee can maintain a vibrant, multifaceted character, providing a balanced experience that transitions seamlessly from bright citrus highlights to a smooth, confectionary finish.
