Speedwell Coffee

Context

Speedwell Coffee's decaffeinated offering from Colombia's Tolima region comes from producers Elias and Shady Bayter. This lot represents the growing category of specialty decaf coffees—a segment that challenges the historical perception of decaf as a compromise. Tolima is known for producing coffees with distinctive character, and sourcing a decaf from this region underscores intentional selection rather than default processing. The decaffeination method used here merits consideration when evaluating the cup; different removal techniques preserve flavor profiles in varying degrees. For those exploring decaf options without sacrificing complexity, Speedwell's approach prioritizes direct relationships with producers, suggesting care in lot selection and processing decisions. Reference the flavor wheel when tasting to identify subtle notes that decaf can retain.
