a decaf colombian caturra from sterling coffee roasters, processed using the washed method, which strips the cherry before fermentation and produces a clean, defined cup. despite being decaffeinated, it holds genuine character, with winey fruit tones alongside milk and dark chocolate. the washed process keeps things structured rather than syrupy, so the chocolate comes through with clarity rather than heaviness. it suits filter brewing well, where the cleaner profile can open up, though it also pulls a solid espresso for an evening shot without the caffeine.
