This is another pretty good decaf. It’s definitely on par with the offerings from Brewing Good and Rise Up, and I’ll likely cycle through these (depending on availability/freshness; Rise Up can be hit-or-miss around here) until another local competitor comes along. The grounds draw down fairly slowly, though not as slowly as the Brewing Good decaf. I brewed most of the single cups in a size 1 V60, and double cups in the size 2. We’ve taken a long time to go through this bag, and as of this writing, it’s over 6 weeks past roast date and starting to degrade a little bit. I brewed most of the early cups at grind 4 and water at 95°C, but more recently, I noticed some slight bitterness, so I backed off to 4+1/92.
