This decaf gets special treatment—first, a semi-washed culturing with Saccharomyces cerevisiae, then decaffeinated using sugarcane-derived ethyl acetate. The result? All the complexity, none of the caffeine.

In the cup, think raspberries, peach, and key lime. It’s clean, vibrant, with a medium body and zippy acidity.

Hydrangea chose this one for how well it holds onto clarity and sweetness through the decaf process—bright, juicy, and anything but boring.

Tasting Notes: Raspberries, Peach, Key Lime

What is the roast recency?

We recommend brewing with beans that are at least two weeks off roast. All beans are roasted to peak flavour at around 6-12 weeks. We have the option to either purchase standard beans (at least 2 weeks but no longer than 6 weeks off roast), or rested beans (at least 7 weeks off roast, no longer than 12 - should we have any left in stock!). For peak flavour, if you are looking to use immediately, we recommend purchasing the rested beans. If you are adding to your rotation of beans, we recommend purchasing the standard and allowing the beans to naturally rest and mature whilst you rotate through other beans.

What does 'Filter' or 'Espresso' Roast mean?

Typically filter is roasted lighter than espresso, though this is not always the case. Several factors play into what brands a Manhattan coffee as 'filter' or 'espresso', which includes the roast profile - i.e. how the beans are roasted, not just how developed a roast it is. It doesn't preclude you from using the beans for espresso though!
