Flavor Description
Brazilian coffee centers on cocoa and nuts, and that profile survives decaffeination intact: milk chocolate and roasted nuts up front, caramel sweetness mid-palate, low acidity, a smooth body, and a clean, non-bitter finish.
Buying Tips
- Process: Water and activated carbon remove about 99.9% of the caffeine with no chemical solvents; often labelled Swiss Water or Mountain Water
- Versus Ethiopian decaf: Brazilian decaf leans cocoa and nuts with more body; Ethiopian decaf keeps citrus and tea-like notes
- Freshness: Decaf stales faster — buy small bags and finish within two to three weeks
Brewing Notes
- Batch brewer: Medium grind, ratio 1:16
- Latte: Medium roast with milk brings out pronounced cocoa
