Description
Tired of bland and uninspiring decaf? We believe that decaf should still taste great! In fact, at least 2 of our staff drink this decaf on a regular basis, so you know it must be good.
Processing
BCR Decaf comes from Colombia and is a sugar cane decaffeination process. Here’s how the sugar cane decaffeination process works: The farmers soak the green coffee beans in water and ethyl acetate, which is a naturally occurring compound derived from sugar cane. Then the ethyl acetate binds with the caffeine and pulls it out of the bean. The sugar cane process removes 97% of the caffeine, and it’s organic. Using sugar cane gives the coffee more flavor and body than other kinds of decaffeination processes. And because this process is done on the farm, it lowers the carbon footprint.
Roast Level
Our decaf is a City Roast. For City Roasts, we pull the coffee from the roaster just as the beans turn a chocolatey color. At this stage, the coffee’s authentic flavors shine without any smokiness or oil. This Colombian coffee is on the light side of medium to allow the sugar cane sweetness to shine through. At this roast level, the mouthfeel is pleasant and doesn’t linger too long, balancing caramel with semisweet chocolate.
Traceability
BCR Decaf is both Fair Trade and Certified Organic, which makes it a great choice all around.
Bragging Rights
To prove our decaf tastes great, we’ve won medals for our decaf at Golden Bean North America in 2019, 2022, and 2023 with more to come.
