Remarkably sweet decaf with bright accents, caramel and raw sugars, apple top note, accents of tree nuts and rye, barley malt, and low-toned chocolatey base flavors.
Cordillera Central decaf blend includes a rotating cast of coffees from countries straddling the vast mountain ranges of Central America. This blend is put together with balance in mind, choosing coffees that are fresh, offer sweetness and moderate acidity, and are capable of dense chocolate roast flavors when roasted dark.
Swiss Water decaf in Vancouver BC are a key ingredient in that last part. Their patented chemical-free water process method is one of the gentler methods out there. All decaffeination methods impact flavor to some extent, but the Swiss process seems to leaves some of the volatile compounds that affect flavor and aroma intact.
