this is a decaf caturra from tolima, colombia, processed naturally by rum baba coffeeroasters. the natural process means the cherry dries around the bean, which pulls through in the cup as stone fruit and a winey, fermented quality, balanced by caramel and sugar cane sweetness. because the caffeine has been removed, extraction can shift slightly, so dialling in your grind and water temperature carefully matters more here. it suits filter or espresso depending on your preference, and rewards patience with a rounded, fruit-forward cup that doesn't taste like a compromise.
common questions
What does Decaf taste like?
expect stone fruit and a winey character from the natural process, with caramel and sugar cane rounding out the sweetness. it's a fruit-forward profile rather than a flat or neutral one.
How is Decaf grown and processed?
it's a caturra varietal grown in the tolima region of colombia and processed naturally, meaning the whole coffee cherry is dried before the bean is extracted, which contributes the fruit and winey notes in the cup.
How should I brew Decaf?
decaf can over-extract more easily than caffeinated coffee, so grind slightly coarser or drop your water temperature a degree or two as a starting point. the natural processing makes it well suited to both filter and espresso, where the stone fruit and caramel notes can come through clearly.
about rum baba coffeeroasters shop & brew-bar east
both roasting and serving out of the same operation takes a particular kind of commitment, and rum baba on pretoriusstraat does exactly that. you're in the oost neighbourhood here, far enough from the tourist drag that the people coming through the door are mostly locals who've made a deliberate choice to be here. the roasting side of things shapes what ends up in your cup, which is a different proposition from a shop that just buys in wholesale and moves on. east amsterdam has its own unhurried pace, and this place fits that rhythm. if you get there on a weekday morning, pretoriusstraat is quiet enough that you can actually sit with whatever they're pouring and not feel rushed through it.
