this is a natural-process decaf caturra from the tolima region of colombia, roasted to a medium level by rum baba coffeeroasters. natural processing means the coffee dried inside the fruit, which pushes the stone fruit and winey character that comes through in the cup alongside caramel, sugar cane, milk chocolate, and dark chocolate. medium roast keeps the origin flavour intact without tipping into bitter territory. it brews well as a filter or espresso, making it a practical choice for an afternoon or evening cup without sacrificing complexity.
common questions
What does Decaf taste like?
expect stone fruit and a winey quality upfront, backed by caramel, sugar cane, milk chocolate, and dark chocolate. the natural process drives the fruitier, slightly fermented character that makes this more interesting than most decafs.
How is Decaf grown and processed?
it is a caturra varietal grown in tolima, colombia, and processed using the natural method, meaning the whole coffee cherry dried around the bean before milling. this is also a decaffeinated coffee, though the specific decaffeination method is not stated.
How should I brew Decaf?
the medium roast is versatile, so it suits both espresso and filter brewing. aim for a slightly coarser grind and moderate water temperature, around 92 to 94 degrees celsius, to keep the fruit and chocolate notes balanced without extracting bitterness.
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.
