Unwind Decaf

Chocolate, almond brittle, roasty. A robust decaf with a mellow sweetness.

From the Sierra Productora de Café Amatenango de la Frontera cooperative in Mexico. The coffee is washed for 12 to 24 hours, with some lots fermented longer. SIPRO and Amatenango keep quality up in a region where security risks make moving coffee hard.

Decaffeinated with ethyl acetate made from sugarcane molasses. The green coffee soaks in the EA solution, which bonds to the caffeine, then steam removes any residue. Of Methodical's three decafs, this is the one for people who want decaf that tastes like regular coffee.
