colombia aponte honey is a decaf coffee from colombia, roasted by dear deer coffee roasting bar in pakuranga. the honey process leaves some fruit mucilage on the bean during drying, which carries through to the cup as stone fruit, honey, and honeycomb alongside caramel and sugar cane sweetness. citrus comes through clearly too, with lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest balancing the sweetness, and milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and cocoa rounding out the finish. because it is decaf, lower brew temperatures and a slightly longer extraction help coax out the full flavour without bitterness, making it a good fit for filter or pour over.
