Category: Coffee

Another in a series of wildly fruit-forward coffees out of Colombia, but this time as a Swiss-Water Decaf! Inoculated fermentations and co-fermentations have exploded in popularity within Colombia, and Forest Coffee leads the charge with this melon co-ferment. With a distinctive candy-forward sweetness and none of the fermented fruit funk, this is a perfect micro-lot for those who are curious about this new trend in post-harvest processing, without the caffeine.

Benjamin ★★★★★

The co-fermentation really comes through—it’s like a berry bomb in a cup, but without the caffeine jitters. I’ve been brewing it as a late-afternoon pour-over and it holds that fruity sweetness even as it cools.

Richard ★★★★★

I tried the Swiss-Water process expecting a mellow cup, but the fruit-forward kick from those co-fermentations genuinely threw me—it's wild and juicy. For a decaf, the body is surprisingly hefty and the finish lingers sweet without any of that "washed-out" decaf flatness.

Carter B. ★★★★☆

Honestly shocked this is decaf — the co-ferment fruitiness is so bold I double-checked I'd grabbed the right bag. Swiss-water process keeps it smooth, though I do wish the body was a touch heavier for my morning pour-over.
