Hey there

Will the Decaf be brown or green or both? Im after brown - Im not clever enough to roast my own just yet.

Re: Decaf - Mocha Java

metoo - The Decaf mentioned above will be green.

Actually, unroasted decaf beans look brown when they have been decaffeinated using the SWP method, so you could say they are green and brown.

But since you want roasted beans, lets just say they are green. ;-)

Re: Decaf - Mocha Java


Interesting point... I have been meaning to offer this as a roasted bean too, even have a stock of beans at the Snobbery they just dont appear in the BeanBay brown yet.

Check again tomorrow.

Re: Decaf - Mocha Java

Cool thanks Andy will check again tomorrow.

FB are you trying to confuse me more than I already am? You suceeded ;D

Re: Decaf - Mocha Java


Fatboy was spot-on, the Swiss Water Process green beans look like they are already roasted.

No need to check tomorrow, they are online now. Thanks for the reminder nudge.

Thanks!

Excellent, that is just the reaction I love to hear about our roasted beans and I agree, for a decaf it is quite stunning.

Fresh is best!

Enjoy,

Andy.

Re: Decaf - Mocha Java

Hey Andy I roasted some of them up and they are awesome, I ran them into second crack and they are a lot darker than I am used to, is this normal or do I pull them from the roaster earlier..... Ray.

Re: Decaf - Mocha Java


Yeah, spot-on Ray, these are a lot darker for the same roast depth (if that makes sense).

I snuck a roast of this into the grinder at work and apart from everyone yawning in the afternoon no-one picked the flavour.

This is easily the best decaf I have had.

Re: Decaf - Mocha Java

Can we have a bit more of this in the future?? or any kind of decaf beans!
I need to roast for my aunt who only drinks decaf... :-/

Re: Decaf - Mocha Java


Im nearly out at the Snobbery so there is a fair chance at least one of us will have some soon.

Re: Decaf - Mocha Java

So I dont usually go down the decaf line, but I got some roasted Mocha Java the other day for friends and stuff that come around. So I was curious last night, so I put some through the grinder and made up a double espresso, and then a double piccolo latte. I was quietly amazed at the taste. I dont have much experience with decaf cos past trials had sucked, but this definitely surprised me.

Why is decaf generally not as tasty? Is it cos a lot of the flavours/characteristics are lost in the decaf process?
