Los Nogales Descafeinado Typica

I’m still amazed a decaf can taste this complex—the mucilage fermentation gives it a silky, almost fruity body that rivals any regular coffee I’ve brewed. It’s my new go-to for afternoon cups when I want the ritual without the jitters.

The mucilage soak really shows through in the cup—it’s sweet and complex in a way I never expected from a decaf, and the body feels almost syrupy. I brewed it as a pour-over this morning and it held up beautifully, no harsh edge at all. This is my new go-to for late-night brewing sessions.

I was skeptical that a decaf could win a brewing competition, but this one proves it. The mucilage-soaking process gives it a richness I’ve never tasted in a caffeine-free cup.
