Decaf Sumatra (Swiss Water Process)

Decaf Sumatra is just the best decaf I've ever found. It has more body and flavor than any other origin.  The Swiss Water method removes 99% of the caffeine. The beans start cracking a little bit sooner than caffeinated Sumatra, but otherwise, treat it about the same. As a general rule, decaf does better in darker roasts, and Sumatra is naturally a good candidate for dark roasts, so that’s what I do with it — about 30 seconds into the second cracks. You will notice that the body and flavor hold up pretty well. There is a slight strawberry sweetness against a dark chocolate note. The aftertaste is clean. It is very smooth coffee.
