Decaf Espresso

Victors Decaf Espresso blend is made with the citric swift water process that boasts a unique and intriguing character, distinct from both regular espresso and other decaf methods. Here's a breakdown of its key features:

Aromatic Profile:

• Citrus Zest: The citric acid used in the swift water process leaves a subtle lemony or lime-like hint in the aroma, adding a refreshing twist to the usual espresso notes.

• Chocolate and Caramel: Expect to encounter our classic espresso aromas of dark chocolate and caramel, albeit slightly muted compared to a full-caffeine version.

• Floral Nuances:  delicate floral notes that emerge more prominently in the absence of caffeine's bitterness.

Flavor Profile:

• Bright Acidity: The citric acid accentuates the coffee's natural acidity, leading to a brighter and tangier taste, a welcome surprise for those who enjoy a fruitier espresso.

• Smooth Body: The swift water process is known for its gentle decaffeination, preserving the bean's original structure and oils. This translates to a smooth and creamy mouthfeel, even in a decaf espresso.

• Reduced Bitterness: Compared to a traditional espresso, the decaf blend will have noticeably less bitterness. This can make it more approachable for those sensitive to caffeine's harsher edge.

• Subtle Cocoa and Spice: Encounter hints of dark cocoa and warm spices

Overall Experience: The Swift Difference

Not all Decaf processes are equal. Our citric swift water decaf process for decaffeinated espresso offers a unique and balanced experience. It's bright, slightly citrusy, with a smooth mouthfeel and reduced bitterness. While it won't perfectly replicate a full-caffeine espresso's intensity, it provides a satisfying alternative for those seeking a flavorful and enjoyable decaf option by preserving more of the flavor profile.
