Here's how we brewed this smooth, comforting decaf from the mountains of San Agustín, Huila, roasted in Portland by Heart.

Portland’s Heart Coffee Roasters are known for their unwavering focus on clarity, balance, and origin expression, and they roast each coffee for maximum sweetness. This lot comes from decades long partnerships with coffee growing families in southern Colombia and is gently decaffeinated using the EA process to preserve structure and flavor. In the cup, we tasted fig, milk chocolate, and soft toffee, with a rounded and satisfying finish.
