From Thom Bargen: 

Currently our DECAF coffee is from Los Idolos COLOMBIA.

It is a E.A. natural decaf. The beans are rinsed with Ethyl Acetate, a natural compound, non-GMO Colombian sugarcane and mountain water. Fully removing 97% of the caffeine.

The Thom Bargen Always Sleepy *Decaf, roasted by Revolver Coffee, offers a refined approach to decaffeinated coffee. Sourced from the Los Idolos producers in the Colombia · Huila region, this lot utilizes the Colombia varietal. To achieve its decaffeinated profile, the coffee undergoes a washed, E.A. Natural Decaf process, a method often favored for its ability to preserve the inherent sweetness of the bean while removing caffeine.

In the cup, this selection highlights classic, comforting profiles of sweet brown sugar, honey, and milk chocolate. While decaf coffees are sometimes perceived as lacking depth, modern processing techniques aim to maintain the integrity of the origin’s character. For those exploring the nuances of these flavors, referencing a flavor wheel can be a helpful tool to identify the subtle complexities present in this balanced, approachable roast. It serves as an excellent example of how careful processing can yield a satisfying experience for those seeking a caffeine-free alternative.
