Don't look past their full caff! It's every bit as great as their decaf. I'm enjoying this as straight spro and with cortados.
Every bag of coffee is excellent from Frequent!!
This might be my favorite decaf. It’s rich and mellow.
Great taste! I'm more used to light roasts so this is definitely more bitter than what I'm used to but it pairs well with other ingredients to make cold drinks, and the bitterness is weak enough that I can drink this black comfortably. As a newbie it's difficult to pinpoint specific flavors or characteristics of where it was grown but I have nothing bad to say about it.
One of the only decaf coffees I’ve been able to find that doesn’t taste too dark or burnt. Makes great espresso as well.
good stuff, would buy again
Thanks, Brandon!
Lovely black tea notes and light body, recommended.
Thanks for the feedback, Chris!
Great subtle depth of flavor, recommended
Thanks, Chris!
You've never had coffee like this before. I've had natural processed caff and decafs before, and none were anywhere near as out there as this, so I'm guessing the credit goes to the mucilage decaffination. Seeing as Los Nogales are apparently one of the only producers that do this, I will say it again even though it's corny as hell - seriously, if you haven't already had this coffee, you've NEVER had coffee like this before.
From the moment I opened this bag, I could tell I was in for AN EXPERIENCE. It smells CRAZY, like some experimental fermented tropical fruit juice. Which makes sense, since that's basically what these beans were processed in (coffee cherries are tropical fruit, technically!). After grinding, I was literally physically taken aback by the aroma of the grounds. My pourover was a bit more tame than I expected in both aroma and flavor, but that's only because the beans and grounds created just the craziest of expectations. It's full of sweetness and fruity acidity in the cup, and definitely delivers on the tropical promises made on the bag.
I portioned it out to single doses and froze them. I would buy and portion out 5 more bags if I had room in the freezer (time to buy a second freezer just for coffee??), but alas, I'll have to pray this is still in stock when I run out.
Wow, thanks so much for the thorough review. We appreciate you, Gal!
After Dark is still a work in progress for me but I’m getting there. Don’t give up if you don’t get immediate best results because the sugarcane processed beans fracture more easily than Swiss water process beans producing more fines. The payoff is more flavor from the sugarcane beans. The grind, temperature and brewing methods need to take into account that more fines will be produced. I have ground slightly coarser, switched from Kinto(slow) filters to Cafec (faster) filters, and bumped the water heat up a little. I’m almost there but even at my current stage I can tell this is going to be a superior decaf. Im learning more about coffee and enjoying the adventure
Thanks so much for the thorough review, Bill. We appreciate you!
