Context

Produced by Speeder & Earl's in Vermont, the Decaf Maple French Roast Coffee represents a distinct approach to American-roasted specialty coffee. By utilizing the Water Process, this selection removes caffeine while aiming to preserve the integrity of the bean’s structural compounds. Generally, decaffeination methods like this are favored for their ability to maintain a clean cup profile without the use of chemical solvents, as detailed in our processing methods explainer.

The French Roast profile typically pushes beans into a darker development stage, often resulting in a bold, heavy body and a pronounced carbonized sweetness. In this specific lot, the roaster highlights notes of smoke and maple, which align with the deeper, caramelized end of the flavor wheel. This coffee serves as a regional specialty, showcasing how roasters in the United States can manipulate roast curves to emphasize specific, dessert-like characteristics while maintaining a decaffeinated status for the consumer.
