Roaster’s Blog: Ethiopian Decaf

Evening Coffee, with Woody

Once again I bring you an episode of nighttime coffee drinking. Sometimes, I am in the mood for a cup of coffee late at night. Who am I kidding? I am usually in the mood for a great cup of coffee! So tonight I reached for our Natural Ethiopian Water Processed Decaf. Ethiopian is a lighter coffee full of herbal aromas and light lingering flavors; this decaf is no exception. The aroma after roasting is full of caramel, vanilla, tamarind and roasty flavors. When you add water to brew, you can smell the citrusy flavor in the coffee really come out. In the cup this coffee is delicate.  I would recommend it black with no cream or sugar added. It is full of lemony tea flavor as well as herbal berry overtones. This coffee has a distinct lingering sweetness on the palette that I find quite amazing in a decaf coffee.

If it’s late at night and you don’t want to be up to the wee hours of the morning, I recommend reaching for One Village Coffee’s Ethiopian Decaf.  It will be sure to enhance your evening.

El Salvador Cup of Excellence (1lb) / $13.50

Cup of Excellence is a program that works to bring together the best coffee to the consumer while bringing profit to the growers. This years #1 coffee went for over $20 a pound, and that’s before roasting! What happens is the growers select the best field or crop of coffee and bring it to the auction cupping in the Host country. This year’s cup of excellence auction was for El Salvador. We were able to sample 24 lots of amazing coffees and picked out what we perceived to be the best lot so that we could bring this exceptional coffee to you. It is amazingly fruity in the cup with bright lemony flavors, but also a subtle mango flavor as well.  It was very rich and very smooth, with a bit of a roasted almond flavor.  You won’t want to miss this, as it is a limited offering.  When it is gone, it is gone.  Enjoy!
