Our first ever decaf - and worth the wait.

Ever been sitting on the couch enjoying a book or watching a beautiful movie and thought, damn I'd love a delicious coffee right now. But, you're torn between that and wanting to sleep? Yep, same. We use to choose sleep and wait until morning for another delicious but now it's no more.

This decaf is an exceptional coffee on its own let alone the fact you can brew it at anytime, for any brew method and it tastes exceptional. Enjoy!

Where this batch is in its resting cycle

Perfectly good to drink anytime — this is just our guide to getting the most from it.

Why we suggest resting coffee

For many years we were taught that fresh is best for coffee. That's no longer the case, in fact it is the opposite. We're big advocates of letting coffee rest and age, much like we're used to doing with wine, but over a shorter span than your 2014 Pinot Noir. With espresso, after 2 weeks the coffee really starts to open up, and keeps going; we've drunk espresso 8 weeks off roast and it's tasted great. For filter, 6–8 weeks is when we see it come into a league of its own — honestly, we've equally been drinking it over 4 months off roast and tasting its best. This isn't to say you can't drink our coffee whenever — we love drinking a coffee through its ageing cycle to watch it open up.

Chapter 01 · The Producer

A Castillo decaf from Jairo Arcila, one of Colombia's finest.

Jairo Arcila is one of Colombia's most celebrated producers — a name trusted by anyone who chases clean, expressive coffees and carefully-built processing. From the hills of Quindío, Jairo and his family treat every lot like a craft, and the cup is the proof. For our very first decaf we wanted his hands on it. This Castillo is processed as a Natural to build deep, syrupy fruit, then gently decaffeinated so the character survives the caffeine leaving. The result keeps everything we love — orange, guava, a little spice — with none of the buzz. Cofinet, our import partner, work directly with Jairo to bring lots like this to NZ, traceable from farm to cup.

In the cup

Sweet orange and guava up front, a soft chai warmth behind. Clean, round and easy — you'd never call it a decaf.

II · In the Cup

Juicy orange, ripe guava, a whisper of chai spice.

First sip is all juicy orange and ripe guava — bright, sweet, properly fruity. A gentle chai-spice warmth rolls in behind, and it finishes clean and round. Full flavour, zero compromise: the decaf we're finally proud to pour, any hour of the day.

Very interesting brew, I can definitely smell and taste the strawberry component with a pleasant chocolate powdery finish, extremely drinkable.

★★★★★

This is a fantastic coffee. Very fruit forward, tastes like cherry Starburst. Great as a filter coffee, but if you like adventurous espresso, this makes for an interesting cortado.

I brewed this using a V60 dripper and a Comandante grinder set to 26 clicks. I used 15g of coffee with 225g of water at 90º. The resulting brew is smooth and velvety, with flavors of cherries and dark chocolate. The f...
