Roaster's Notes:

Our best decaf ever! We enjoy our decaf coffee for the flavor not the effect! DECO Decaf is a global partnership with RACAFE to decaffeinate a coffee from our seasonal menu. We serve Ethyl acetate process decaf, which uses sugarcane oil and intense pressure as a medium to force the caffeine out of the unroasted coffee. This process leaves the all natural fruit flavors in the coffee for you to enjoy unlike many of the other decaffeination processes that take everything we love out to be sold as green coffee extract. Our goal is for our decaf coffee to shine along with all our coffees, and this one does; not just because of our partnership with RACAFE but also because this coffee was grown and processed by our longtime friends at ASPROTimana! This is truly a sustainable & transparent decaffeinated coffee!

The Deco Decaf Blend, crafted by Victrola Coffee Roasters, highlights the potential of decaffeinated offerings sourced from the Colombia · Huila region. Produced by the ASPROTimana cooperative, this selection undergoes a traditional washed process, a technique often favored for its ability to highlight the inherent clarity and sweetness of the bean. While processing methods can significantly influence the final cup profile, washed coffees are frequently celebrated for their clean, balanced acidity.

In the cup, this blend presents a comforting profile of milk chocolate, strawberry, and graham cracker. These descriptors align with the sweet, dessert-like qualities often sought in high-quality decaf. To better understand how these specific notes fit into the broader spectrum of coffee aromatics, enthusiasts can consult the flavor wheel. By focusing on regional integrity and careful processing, this blend demonstrates that decaffeinated coffee can offer a complex and satisfying experience for the discerning palate.
