Decaf Papua New Guinea
Decaf Papua New Guinea, Eastern Highlands Washed, then Swiss Water Process for decaf Varietals: Arusha, Bourbon, Mundo Novo Green Bean Certifications: Organic, Kosher, Halal This is a reference for my American customers who attended public school as kids: Do you remember the brownie they would very occasionally grace us with at lunch? That weird, dry, cakey thing that we were so happy to get, like 3 times a year? OK. Hold that flavor-memory. This first sip of this Decaf Papua New Guinea coffee reminds me of that brownie. But in the best way possible for coffee. This is a chocolate-forward coffee. Even at my medium roast point, I'd put it at a bittersweet chocolate over semisweet, mainly because of that perceived dryness upfront. As the cup cools, you'll realize the dryness was just an illusion. You should pick up mild pink -> red berries (strawberry or raspberry) and a creaminess (mascarpone, maybe creme fraiche because of the acid) that, together, hit like a strawberry
