Roasting: Start with a Full City (Medium), or just a few snaps into the second crack. If you can't hear the cracks, then roast until the beans are smooth and medium dark brown with just the first hint of sheen as the oil emerges. For best results, use slightly lower temperatures than normal as decaffeinated beans are easily over-roasted. This coffee roasts very evenly.

Reminder! This coffee is raw and must be roasted before brewing

Our Review: 

Once again, our favorite importer, Royal Coffee, comes through with a stellar selection for water processed decaffeination! The Royal team worked closely with producers in Jaltenango de la Paz, Chiapas to choose coffees fit to bear the name of their "Royal Select" decaf line and you'll be just as pleased with the results as we are. Water processed decaf removes 99.9% of the caffeine from coffee using only water, while leaving more flavor than traditional decaffeinating methods. It's environmentally friendly and the results can't be beat. We've had many decaffeinated coffees and this Royal has done an amazing job of keeping the flavor and creamy body without the caffeine. The front end is mildly acidic with a subtle lemon bent followed by a very sweet, balanced profile with notes of caramel, cherry and cocoa. We noted a full body, creamy texture and a clean finish.
