The Best Decaf Coffee We’ve Ever Tasted

We were never really fans of decaffeinated coffee until we found this amazing Mexican bean in 2012. Every other decaf coffee we ever tried left us cold; it just couldn’t compete with regular coffee. So why is Decaf Dream so good? We’re not really sure, to be perfectly honest. We think it’s just a happy accident of terroir, treatment and natural selection. The coffee is grown at high elevation (like very many great coffees), it isn’t harvested any differently and we don’t really treat it very differently in the roaster, but the results are just amazing. After a fairly straightforward medium roast at medium to low temperature, it tastes just like a top grade bean with full caffeine, it has great length, the mouth feel is terrific and it even has a great crema from an espresso machine. It’s a real find and it has opened our eyes to how good a decaf coffee can be. Now, we drink it late at night and we especially love it with a drop of Baileys, brandy or even a nip of whiskey after dinner.

There are two ways of removing caffeine from coffee beans, the cheap, nasty way, and the right way. Our decaf coffee is decaffeinated properly, the right way. The caffeine is removed using only natural water processing, so the beans don’t get laced with nasty solvents and chemicals, like methylene chloride or ethyl acetate. Most decaf, unfortunately is decaffeinated the nasty way. Decaffeinating the right way takes longer but the results speak for themselves. There’s a rich, satisfying bite with no bitterness whatsoever and a long, lingering finish of dark chocolate and liquorice. If you haven’t had a decaf coffee for a few years, the chances are that you’ve never had a proper decaf. You certainly won’t have ever tasted anything like Decaf Dream.
