you'll taste lemon before grapefruit. this is decaf colombia 5lb, a washed colombia from sweetleaf coffee roasters.
it leads with lemon, grapefruit, and citrus zest, then moves into a winey quality with a cocoa finish. the washed process keeps the flavors clean and well-defined.
it's a caturra varietal grown in huila, colombia, and processed using the washed method, which removes the fruit before drying to produce a cleaner, brighter cup. it has also been decaffeinated.
pour-over or drip brewing suits this coffee well, allowing the citrus and winey notes to come through clearly. because decaf can extract unevenly, aim for water around 200°f and avoid over-extraction by keeping brew time in a normal range for your method.
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.
