expect sugar cane. this is decaf columbia popayan, a natural colombia from ark coffee company.
it carries a sugar cane sweetness, a soft and clean flavour that comes through from the natural processing method. it drinks without the harsh or flat qualities that can affect some decafs.
it comes from the cauca region of colombia and is processed using the natural method, where the whole coffee cherry dries together, building sweetness into the bean before decaffeination.
it works well as either a filter or espresso, and the natural sweetness comes through clearly in both. for filter, use a slightly coarser grind to keep the cup bright and avoid muddiness.
