Popayan Reserve Sugar Cane Decaf
Zest Specialty Coffee RoastersAbout This Coffee
This decaffeinated coffee undergoes the Sugar Cane Decaf process, where caffeine is extracted using a natural bi-product of sugar cane mixed with water. The beans are allowed to soak in this mixture, which leaves sweetness in the coffee and allows the flavor to closely match caffeinated counterparts. The flavor profile includes notes of mandarin, milk chocolate, and honeydew.
