"Blind Assessment: Evaluated as espresso. Richly chocolaty, gently fruit-forward. Dark chocolate, dried plum, rhododendron, roasted almond, fresh-cut fir in aroma and small cup. Very syrupy mouthfeel; crisply chocolaty, wood-framed finish. In cappuccino-scaled milk, attractive notes of dark chocolate and dried plum dominate.

Background Info

Amazing things exist at night! Our home island of Hawai‘i is one of the best places in the world to observe moonbows: Night time rainbows illuminated by the light of the full moon. 

Decaf drinkers no longer need to sacrifice caffeine for flavor. Our Moonbow decaf is an excellent evening alternative for our Espresso Nuevo or Espresso Classico blends for those looking to limit their caffeine intake. It is the coffee we personally drink the most of, so we work hard to keep it great, rather than as an after thought. Great for an after dinner affogato or as a pour over paired with some shortbread cookies.

Moonbow decaf is a medium-dark roast of washed coffee from Central and South America that makes a lively espresso and a balanced and chocolatey filter coffee.

This lot was decaffeinated using the "sugarcane" process, a solvent-based decaffeination method using ethyl acetate,  derived from sugarcane or beets. The process includes steaming the beans to open their pores and rinsing with the solvent to remove caffeine. Sugarcane process decafs are rapidly gaining a reputation for quality and transparency of flavor, particularly those from Colombia. 

 

Brewing

Espresso: 19-20g coffee in. 45-50ml out. 93C (199F) water temperature. 25-28 seconds extraction time 

Pour over: 16g coffee. 250mL water. 91-92C (196-198F) brew time 3:15-3:30. complete final pour around 1:45. We recommend grinding slightly courser for this and other decaf coffees as they seem to produce more fines that can clog the paper filters and slow down estraction time.
