Roaster’s Notes
Too often, in specialty coffee, decaf customers are left out of the conversation. But for true coffee lovers, sacrificing caffeine does not mean that you have to give up the exciting character and complexity of flavor you have come to expect. That is why we always offer a single-origin, in-season, organic decaf coffee that is as scrupulously grown, meticulously sourced, and precisely roasted as any other coffee on our menu. Beyond sourcing coffee that is ethically produced and tastes incredible, we also limit our selection to coffees decaffeinated through the clever use of water and filtration instead of the harsh chemical and enzyme baths favored by the majority of the industry. This coffee was decaffeinated using the celebrated Mountain Water Process (MWP), which removes 99.9% of the caffeine while leaving the character of the original coffee beans intact. MWP gently removes caffeine in a pure water solution that floats coffee oils to the surface (caffeine included), filters out the caffeine, and reintroduces the original oils to the green coffee. The result is simply great coffee, no qualifiers. One thing we never get tired of hearing is "your decaf actually tastes good!" Shouldn't it? Chocolatey and smooth, and it won't keep you up at night.
