Background info:

It's been a long time coming but its finally here, our latest decaf lot. This time we working with a CO2 decaffeinated Colombian Coffee, just so you know this decaf is chemical-free. Here is a little background information on how this coffee is decaffeinated:

The green coffee is soaked in fresh hot water which allows the coffee beans to expand and become porous. It is then placed into a sealed vessel where it gets pressurized with liquid CO2. The CO2 then dissolves the caffeine from the beans. This mixture is then removed from the beans, where they will undergo a drying phase to finish off the process.

This process is the least invasive method of removing caffeine without changing the flavour profile of the coffee. We picked up notes of Brazil Nuts on both our filter brew and espresso. The espresso does however have a sweeter note of Marzipan which sticks to the theme of nuts very well. This all transforms our milk beverage into this butterscotch sweetness, the closest you'll get to us serving a Butterscotch Latte.
