Decaf Profiles
Roasting Guidance | We suggest using medium heat application, adjusting to hit first crack at longer than average timing, and ending the roast at a dark temperature. |
Flavor Profile | This roast will produce coffee that is smooth and robust. The coffee will be heavier bodied, with low acidity, some roast character. |
Altering the Roast | For more body and roast character, maintain a higher heat application through second crack for and even darker roast. For more acidity, reach first crack more quickly and end the roast at a lighter temperature with less development. |
Blend and Brew | These coffees are great for a dark roast house decaf. Brew using a french press for maximum body. |
