Anaerobic Decaf Red Bourbon | Cherry & Chocolate 

Guilt-free luxury. A revolutionary anaerobic fermentation process locks in vibrant notes of ripe cherry and dark chocolate before decaffeination. The ultimate full-bodied evening coffee.

The Origin Story

Experience the revolutionary side of decaf with this exceptional single-origin featuring the coveted Red Bourbon varietay. Before the gentle decaffeination process, the cherries underwent a meticulous anaerobic fermentation (oxygen-free) phase. This cutting-edge technique seals the natural sugars and complex flavors into the bean, ensuring that even after the caffeine is removed, the coffee retains an astonishingly vibrant and full-flavored profile.

Bean Identity

Roast Philosophy

This decaf is developed to an Omni Roast (Medium) level. The goal is to maximise the bean's inherent sweetness and creamy texture, ensuring perfect solubility for both filter and espresso. The controlled development enhances the ripe cherry notes gained from the anaerobic process while providing enough structure to make this a versatile, caffeine-free powerhouse.

Sensory Profile Deep Dive

This is a decaf coffee bean profile that breaks the mold, delivering depth and complexity without the caffeine.

• Aroma: A deep, sweet aroma of dark chocolate and mature red fruits immediately upon grinding.
• Body: A heavy, full body that feels thick and coats the palate. This richness is rare in decaf and lends itself well to milk-based drinks.
• Acidity: Pleasant, well-integrated malic acidity, complementing the fruit sweetness without sharpness.
• Notes: Dominant notes of rich ripe cherry, plum, and a satisfying base of milk chocolate.
• Finish: A prolonged, clean, and satisfying finish of sweet spice and lingering cocoa.

Degassing Advice (Expert Tip)

Decaf beans, especially those with complex processing, benefit from a short rest. We recommend allowing this Anaerobic Decaf lot to rest for 5 to 8 days post-roast date to ensure optimal gas release and a smooth, consistent extraction.
