by sweetleaf coffee roasters · new york city, usa
you'll taste lemon before grapefruit. this is decaf colombia 2.5lb, a washed colombia from sweetleaf coffee roasters.
the cup leads with lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest, then moves into a winey quality with cocoa in the finish. it's a bright, fruit-forward decaf rather than a heavy or chocolatey one.
it's a caturra varietal grown in huila, colombia, processed using the washed method, which strips the fruit before drying and produces a clean, bright cup. the beans are then decaffeinated before roasting.
the washed process makes this a good fit for filter methods like pour-over or drip, where the citrus acidity can come through clearly. grind slightly coarser than your usual filter setting, as decaf beans extract a little faster due to processing.
the greenpoint industrial stretch along freeman street doesn't scream coffee destination, but sweetleaf proves neighborhood gems hide in plain sight. this isn't about instagram moments or trendy aesthetics. it's about espresso pulled with the kind of precision that keeps locals coming back, day after day, sometimes twice. you can taste the difference immediately. that sharp, clean finish that only comes when someone actually cares about extraction time and grind consistency. the steam wand hisses just right, milk temperature matters here, and your cortado arrives at exactly the temperature your tongue expects. with 377 google reviews averaging 4.6 stars, sweetleaf has earned its reputation one cup at a time. no marketing budget required when your espresso speaks this clearly. regulars know what they're getting, visitors leave planning their return trip. simple formula, executed well.
