It’s sweet and flavorful and can pass for a non-decaf coffee. It is certified organic, certified fair trade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA nice clean sweet Central American coffee full of flavor, Decaf coffee is typically best when roasted dark. It is not particularly interesting or complex, but it is a sweet, full-flavored decaf. I roast it anywhere from 30 seconds before the 2nd cracks begin up into the 2nd cracks, but you can optionally take it darker. It doesn't have that \"decaf\" taste, which makes it easier to drink than most!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"happymugcoffee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":19630885994584,"sku":null,"price":6.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0045\/8548\/8472\/products\/IMG20220914161341.jpg?v=1738611897"},{"product_id":"decaf-sumatra-water-process","title":"Decaf Sumatra (Mountain Water Process)","description":"\u003cp\u003eDecaf Sumatra is just the best decaf I've ever found. It has more body and flavor than any other origin. It's a really enjoyable decaf, and is one of the few Decafs that is available with Fair Trade and Organic certification (so that's the one we buy). I\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5em;\"\u003e’ve discovered that Mountain Water Process (the Mexican plant) is less bitter and more flavorful than Swiss Water Process (the Canadian plant). This is the Mountain Water Process (MWP), and we are very happy with it. It starts cracking a little bit sooner than caffeinated Sumatra, but otherwise, treat it about the same. As a general rule, decaf does better in darker roasts, and Sumatra is naturally a good candidate for dark roasts, so take it about 30 seconds into the second cracks to get that dark full bodied rich smooth mug of coffee.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"happymugcoffee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":19630891696216,"sku":null,"price":8.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0045\/8548\/8472\/products\/decafsum2020.jpg?v=1738611813"},{"product_id":"decaf-colombia-ea-process","title":"Decaf Colombia (EA Process)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is one of the nicest decaf Colombia coffees we have tasted. We are roasting it fairly light -- even a little bit lighter than regular caffeinated Colombia. Treating it like a washed Costa Rica coffee in the roaster, and that's about what it tastes like as well. It has higher moisture content than most decaf coffees, so it needs extra heat compared to other decafs. There is citrus and sweetness and a fair amount of complexity with pretty good mouthfeel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe EA decaf process is primarily being done in Colombia right now. Ethyl Acetate is a compound found in sugarcane, and introducing this natural compound to the coffee eliminates 97% of the caffeine from it. It seems like it may retain the most flavor in the coffee of any currently used decaf process methods. I hope that it catches on and we start seeing other coffees decaffeinated using this method!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"happymugcoffee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":19630901100632,"sku":null,"price":6.65,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0045\/8548\/8472\/files\/1687629820433.jpg?v=1738611681"},{"product_id":"decaf-papua-new-guinea","title":"Decaf Papua New Guinea","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne advantage to Swiss Water Process decafs is that they aren't as discolored and the cracks are louder than with most decafs. They look more like normal green coffee which means that people who use color and sound to help them know when to end the roast will find these some of the easiest decaf beans to roast up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can do a few different things with this bean. If you get it too light, it is a little vegetal, so you need to get it at least 30 seconds out of 1st cracks, but that's where you get a buttery and cocoa mouthfeel. You can also treat it like a Sumatra and give it 30+ seconds of 2nd cracks and get an awesome sweet dark decaf with nutty undertones. It has a thinner mouthfeel than with Sumatra, but it's a nice change. You can medium roast it (just barely-- or even not quite into-- 2nd cracks) and enjoy a nutty buttery result . You can also blend the light roasts with the dark roasts for the best of both worlds.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor those of you who love coffee and aren't allowed the caffeine, this is an exciting and much needed new addition to our selection.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"happymugcoffee","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31524411637848,"sku":null,"price":7.85,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0045\/8548\/8472\/products\/IMG_20201015_161840.jpg?v=1738611579"},{"product_id":"ethiopia-sidamo-uvw-process","title":"Decaf Ethiopia Sidama UVWV Process","description":"\u003cp\u003eGranted, the coffee that gets sent to the decaffeination plants are often the coffees that were lower quality and not selling very well. So this never started out as a stellar Ethiopia, and now it's been through the decaffeination process, and that doesn't help matters, but for being a decaf Ethiopia, it's really quite a standout. The UVWV process is done in the United States and stands for Ultraviolet Water Vapor. Somehow they are able to use steam with ultraviolet light to separate and remove the caffeine molecules. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you've had any of my regular Ethiopian coffees before, this will disappoint you because it doesn't have the wide range of flavor and deep fruity complexity that you are expecting. But if you just want a mild sweet decaf coffee with some citrus notes, then I think you'll be very happy with this! Roast it 20 seconds past the 1st cracks (for me, that's a bean temp of 404 degrees) and it is a smooth sweet really nice flavor. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere's what else you can do with it: Mix it 50-50 by weight with a dark roast decaf Sumatra.
