Los Nogales Caturra | Mucilage EA Decaf | Colombia

This is wildly good. Amazing sweetness and acidity.

I very much liked the Wilton Benitez Red Bourbon, so I thought I would try this one, and I find it verging on repulsive; to me, it tastes like body odor and cheese. I have tried brewing it in different ways and even mixed it with other coffees to make a blend, and its pungent stank intrudes into everything. It has a syrupy mouthfeel, and this one really clogs when I do pour over. I tried doing a very rough grind, and that didn't help. I would give it one star, but I am drinking it anyway and just suffering through my morning cup of stinky cheese; maybe I should have been clued in, as the word "mucilage" evokes a glue-like bacterial sludge, which is what this tastes like to me.

If you want to get a pineapple punch in the mouth, well, here you go.

Wow, what a cup! The acidity, interest, and sweetness in this brew is so fun. It's so clean, and the pineapple and lemon-y citric notes are very welcome. And hearing "lemon", you may expect it to be a little sour, but no! It's purely pleasant. It compares well to high end caffeinated coffees, and stomps every decaf I've ever had (even from other specialty decaf-focused roasters). The EA process is fantastic and allows the nuanced flavors to shine through. Great job, Frequent!

Lived up to the tropical notes both on the nose and in the cup. Well roasted, and brews beautifully in my V60.

Wow! My kind of decaf!

This is one of the best decaf coffees I have tried, and by far the best I’ve tried from Frequent (which has many other good decaf offerings). I’ve reordered and am eager to have some more. A note: my decafs are pretty exclusively Colombian, and from the more renowned (and experimental) coffee growers. Wilton Benitez and Granja Paraiso 92, etc.

I’ve purchase Los Nogales decaf from many roasters ever since Blendin coffee’s owner won brewer’s cup with it. This specific one might be my favorite. I’ve noticed that decaf from Los Nogales tends to be less fragile/produce less fines. I like to grind it the size you would for non-decaf

I ordered 5 different coffees from Frequent and this is the first one I tried. I always freshly grind my coffee before I brew with my Technivorm Moccamaster, and this one so far has been the best! I agree with the tasting notes, and overall this one is extremely fruity and bright. An absolute standout coffee!

Funky, fresh, honestly, an all around good cup of coffee. Not sure if I prefer this to the Typica Los Nogales, but it's definitely neck and neck for one of my favorite coffees. Buyer beware though, this is not going to taste like an average cuppa, it takes the idea of your morning joe and asks, "hey, how about this, but make it taste completely different? make it fruity, make it 'funky' (in a good way!) " If you ever want to shake things up, why not try a cup?

I haven't tried all the offerings from Frequent yet, but of all the ones I have (4 so far), Los Nogales is my favorite. Just incredible coffee, and it's light roast and it's decaf!! Very unusual combo to find. My afternoon, and now sometimes morning go-to pourover. Kudos.

Another stellar decaf. This one more bright, juicy and fruit forward than the Red Bourbon I purchased with it.

Love this decaf better even than Frequent's 94-point Red Bourbon decaf -- Los Nogales is wonderfully flavorful!

Fruity, tart, aroma is really strong.Very unusual fruit for a decaf.

incredible cofeee. Mymfavorite decaf ever. One problem - the acid level is high and curdles 1/2 and 1/2 so it must use cooler water and slowly added to dairy.

Wow. This is some of the best coffee I've had. Not "best decaf" -- this rivals seriously good coffee like Sey, Prodigal, La Cabra. This one is juicy, fruity, yet clean and crisp. Definitely get some tropical fruits here. No typical decaf flatness or boring-ness.

The juicy, tropical fruit notes were off the charts - lots of lychee - and it smelled amazing. The palate was a little too tart for me, though, even though I love acid-forward coffee and wine.

I've had this coffee from three different roasters but Frequent's version is the best! Incredibly bright and fruity, it's like a pina colada in coffee form. It's become my new favorite decaf

Incredible Decaf offering! I am a huge fan of light roast, fruity coffees but after switching to decaf, I had a hard time finding options with the complexity I enjoyed. This is one of the most flavorful and fragrant coffees I've had (both in terms of decaf and caffeinated!). I've been savoring each cup and highly recommend it. Given the springtime weather, I enjoyed it over ice with some oat milk. Delicious!

I don’t usually leave reviews but Frequent is fantastic. I have been looking for a decaf that is great for pour overs for a long time. Pretty much every other decaf I’ve found is roasted to dark or is just dull. This is super fruity and crisp. 10/10 would recommend

10/10 best decaf I’ve ever had. It’s flavorful, juicy, complex—all around delicious. Most decafs make my afternoons kinda ho-hum because it’s hard to find anything more than a slightly-too-dark-for-my-taste Columbia washed process. But this stuff—this stuff is different! I have to lock it up to stop myself from brewing too many cups a day! Instant recommendation to anyone who’s into adventurous decaf—I’ll definitely be buying again.

A delicous brew, complex and satisfying. Recommended

Amazing decaf, fruit forward and sweet. Delivery was prompt.

I used to get jealous watching people drink full caff coffees like this and being left out. No more! You guys are even turning me into a review writer. I've had both this and After Dark as immersion brews (Clever Dripper) and they're great, but I'm going to have to try them both as espresso as soon as I find my Rossa Air Espresso (just moved).

THIS IS DECAF? I tried this first as an espresso, low flow to saturate puck, full pressure to 8 bar, declining profile, 18g, 45g out. Ground with Lagom P80. THE SHOT WAS INCREDIBLE.

I also made this as soup with an OXO rapid brewer, ground @ 3.3 on a 1zpresso ZP6. The pineapple just whacks you in the face.

This coffee is wild! More pronounced flavor notes than most full caf coffees. Add a splash of honey to an espresso shot of this for a pineapple flavor bomb.

This is one of my favorite coffees ever. It is very very fruity. I've used it for both Aeropress and espresso and it's just great.
