Wired Enough Decaf

Our decaf is a Swiss Water Process washed coffee from the Ratnagiri Estate in India. It reminds us of cocoa powder, molasses and red currant. It has a creamy body and a smooth sweet finish. 

'Ratnagiri' means 'pearl mountains' which refers to the silver oak trees that line the hillsides and provide shade to the coffee growing there. The farm, in South Indian Western Ghats. has been in the Patre family since 1927. Ashok Patre, the current owner and operator, has brought focus on the farm to producing specialty coffee. The farm uses organic fertilizer, is fed by 2 freshwater streams and coffee is handpicked and carefully processed.

We roast our decaf to be suitable for all types of brewing – we use it in the café on espresso but it also tastes great as a drip! It can be enjoyed black cuts beautifully through your milk of choice.

We really want to showcase decaf coffees under the same light as we do with all our other coffees. The quality of decaf is rising in tandem with its demand so we are excited to work with more delicious decaffeinated and low caffeine content coffees in the future!

Brew method:

We roast this coffee medium and it is best enjoyed as a filter or as an espresso.

For filter, we recommend using a 16:1 water to coffee ratio (for example when using 20 grams of coffee, brew with 320ml of water) and a medium coarse grind.

For espresso, we recommend using a 2.5:1 yield to dose ratio (for example 18 grams of coffee to make a 45 ml espresso), using a fine grind and aiming for a 30 second shot time.
