colombia coffee · decaf
by pirates of coffee · mississauga, canada
you'll taste red apple before stone fruit. this is guanabana: colombia co-ferment washed, an anaerobic colombia from pirates of coffee.
expect red apple, peach, and stone fruit up front, supported by tropical fruit notes, with milk chocolate and dark chocolate rounding out the finish. the anaerobic co-fermentation process pushes the fruit character further than a standard washed colombia would.
it is a caturra varietal grown in huila, colombia, and processed using anaerobic co-fermentation before a washed finish, which means the cherries undergo oxygen-limited fermentation prior to pulping and clean drying. it is also a decaf coffee.
filter brewing, such as pour-over or batch drip, keeps the fruit notes clear and well-defined, while espresso will emphasise the chocolate tones. as a decaf, it is forgiving across brew methods, so adjust grind and temperature to taste rather than following strict rules.
the parking lot off davand drive doesn't look like much, but inside pirates of coffee, something special happens. beans crack in small batches while the espresso machine hisses through another cortado. this is what happens when someone actually cares about coffee instead of just selling it. you can taste the difference immediately. that first sip carries weight, complexity that chain stores gave up chasing years ago. regulars know this. they drive across mississauga because consistency here means something different than everywhere else. the 546 google reviews averaging 4.9 stars tell the real story. people don't rave about adequate coffee. they talk about the barista who remembers their order, beans roasted days not weeks ago, cups that make monday mornings bearable. independent roasters like this survive because they refuse to compromise. every shot pulled here matters. every bag sold represents hours of careful roasting, testing, adjusting. that's rare these days.
