Decaf India Water Process

Decaf India Water Process

We've never had a decaf India before, so this is fun to have a new decaf option.

It roasts up pretty similar to a normal India coffee. Needs a fair amount of heat, despite being decaffeinated. You can take it a little bit shy of the 2nd cracks and get grain-like notes, with chocolate and spice. I like it better right at verge of 2nd cracks to pull out the chocolate notes and sweetness. It's full bodied, doesn't taste like a decaf, it's really drinkable. But about 20 seconds of 2nd cracks get you the dark spicy smoky taste that I associate with India coffee. A little bit thinner body at that level, but a nice change of pace if you've been stuck drinking decaf Colombia and decaf Sumatra for a long time.
