The Coffee: A very full bodied, single varietal microlot decaf coffee with classic notes of a Brazil Natural. Almost like drinking a walnut fudge brownie that has an uplifting finish. If we are going to carry a decaf it's got to be a crowd pleaser that's enjoyed at all times of the day. This one hits the spot. Our notes include walnut, honey, cocoa, and citrus. A medium roast, this coffee brews great in all formats and pulls an especially thick and velvety espresso shot that milks quite well.

The Producer: This is a single source, single varietal, microlot Yellow Catuaí that comes by way of Fazenda Mimoso in Chapada da Minas. A region well-known for their long tradition of natural processed coffees. The farm sits at an elevation of 1000 MASL and it's only focus is the cultivation of specialty grade coffee harvested in microlots and dried on raised beds. Another practice on their farm site is planting the coffee where they're intercropped with shade trees throughout selected plots. The farm cultivates Red and Yellow Catuai, Topazio and Gesha. 

FAQs

We roast Monday through Wednesday and sometimes Thursdays based on orders. Coffees roasted are then available the next day. We like a minimum of a day's rest prior to release for consumption. 

We always recommend brewing your coffee following protocols found online and set by the Specialty Coffee Association (https://sca.coffee) These standards use a ratio (ml/g of water to g of coffee) that's between 14:1 to 17:1. For example, a 12oz. pour over brew 12oz (360ml/g) of water with 24g of coffee (15:1 ratio) and adjust based on your taste. These same ratios can be applied to Drip and French Press coffees where 60g of coffee per 1 quart/1liter of water (16:1) is a great starting point. Brew temperatures, we recommend a range from 190-205°F. If you don't have a thermometer, simply boil your kettle remove from heat source for 60 to 90 seconds, which should give you that range. Lastly your grind will affect your cup. Too fine will produce bitter and astringent flavors, while too coarse can produce a flat and watery cup. We like a medium fine grind for pour over and drip, while French Press should be coarse. At the end of the day always brew to your taste and what you prefer. 

We ship Monday through Friday. Orders made Monday - Thursday by 12 PM Pacific standard time will ship out the next day. To ensure that you are receiving the freshest roast possible, any orders made after 12 PM Pacific standard time Thursday through Sunday will typically ship Mondays and sometimes Tuesdays based on availability of the most current roast.
