Tasting Notes

Why the heck is this decaf a Black Label? I’ll tell you why: because it deserves to be. This isn’t only “fantastic for a decaf”; it’s a fantastic coffee period. The delicate berry-like sweetness comes forth with notes of strawberry while a naturally smooth nuttiness brings in a dynamic twist. As it cools, an overwhelmingly sweet fruitiness makes itself known with notes of crisp apple. A smooth-bodied and dynamically sweet coffee makes this the absolute perfect after-dinner treat. 

Finca Castellon Coffee Production

This natural Castillo comes from Finca Castellon. Grown and processed by Jairo Arcila, a third-generation coffee producer. Even though he retired in 2019, Felipe and Carlos started Cofinet and aid in producing lots like this one. This Castillo lot was dried before being sent off to the sugar cane decaffeination treatment, in order to strip away the caffeine. Usually decaf coffees are an afterthought, with 83-84 point washed coffees being homogenized into one large (and sometimes boring) decaf lot. Cofinet has taken a different approach, creating a decaf that is worthy of the moniker of specialty coffee.
