2 LB Subtle Earth Organic Water Process Decaf

Normally we purchase our organic decaf coffee beans at a small coffee shop in Montreal, Canada (we live in New York State near the border of Canada, so we visit Montreal frequently) because we find it very difficult to locate flavorful organic dark roast decaf coffee, despite years of searching. Due to the stay-at-home orders and border closures, we have been forced to search for a new coffee source since we can’t get to Montreal. During a recent Amazon search I found this organic decaf whole-bean coffee, so after reading other reviews, I decided to try a bag. Wow! What a lucky find!! This coffee is exactly as described...medium-dark roast (which proved very flavorful), extremely fresh, water-processed decaf, PLUS it’s a fair trade product sold at a fair price. Our order arrived promptly (even with the recent delays due to the Covid virus) and was well packaged. As soon as I opened the package, I was greeted with an amazing, rich aroma, and the cup of coffee it produced was equally delicious. Some reviewers expressed reservations since this coffee is not “Swiss Water Processed; however, I am unsure how much of a negative issue this is, but it certainly doesn’t impact the quality of this particular brew. We grind our beans rather fine as we brew our coffee with a single size Melita filter, but I imagine any brew method would yield a great cup of coffee from these beans. I would highly recommend these beans and I will definitely order this coffee again.

I have not drunk coffee, decaf or otherwise, for many years because I simply cannot handle caffeine. I used to drink decaf but even that adversely affected me to the point where I had to quite altogether.I researched the Swiss water bath method of decaffeination and thought I should be able to handle a coffee processed that way so-o-o-o I then researched coffees and settled on this one; I am absolutely blown away by how good this coffee is.It is so smooth and aromatic and non-acidic (as was their claim). . . . Tastes amazing! Way better than I could have imagined. I tested it by drinking two full cups on an empty stomach, which should have caused me to dash to the bathroom after being so unaccustomed to it but there was absolutely no effect whatsoever and no caffeine jitters, at all.Again, just blown away by this product. Oh, and the price is way better than so many other comparable products. Thank you Subtle Earth for making such a wonderful natural and organic product. I am one happy coffee drinkin' camper.

Just exactly as described, Rich, Smooth, Low Acid!!! Wow! I'm impressed!! I made an espresso shot then tried it straight. This is the real deal, smooth, low acid and rich flavor. It looks shiny but I dug into bean with fingers and fingers were not covered in any oil. The flavor is not of cigarettes as described by one buyer, it's a slight smoky flavor. I've been buying whole coffee bean for my espresso machine for seven years now. This is the best decaf I've ever tried! It will pair well with my Gustos Cafe Premium bean from Puerto Rico. The bean looks like a dark roast due to all decaf beans becoming dark and not green while in the soaking bath. I'm sold on the Swiss Water method. And the price is great! Not out of line with any other bean. Shipping was two days as promised. I have Amazon Prime so free shipping. Don't those beans look yummy in the picture!! Update : just bought my third 2 LB bag.

The media could not be loaded. I travel full time and one of the downsides to it is that I am constantly searching for quality foods. Coffee has been an even greater challenge because I have removed caffeine from my diet but want quality, organic, whole-bean coffee. I almost always have to compromise on one or more of these desires when it's time to buy another bag.So, when I found this product, I didn't hesitate to try it. Admittedly, I did not have high hopes that it would be fresh at all. More often than not, when I successfully found organic whole-bean decaf in an enclosed bag in a supermarket, I got home and opened the bag to discover old, dry beans despite being well within the "best by" date. If that's their best, then, no thanks.Upon opening the bag for this product, I was immediately hit with a wave of fresh coffee smell before I had even looked in. Upon finding the beans freshly roasted and visually oily and yet not oily at all to the touch, I became excited like a child on Christmas morning to get a cup brewed and in front of me.It didn't disappoint. The flavor is rich and satisfying. The resealable bag sealed back up nicely. And, I find myself already looking forward to tomorrow morning. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I'm glad I finally found a source for coffee that I can get no matter where I go. Will definitely be buying all my coffee from here from now on.UPDATE: I have bought about 7 bags now of this coffee over the last 9 months or so. It is always great and very consistent. I've recommended this coffee a LOT.

I do not know if it is the fact that you are grinding the beans or the way they are processed but if I did not have the bag saying decaf, I would not have guessed. It tastes like a nice cup of coffee that satisfies a 45 year coffee drinker. Now I do not have to limit my cups of coffee because my heart tells me too. No more big heart beats in my chest from the caffeine. Happy heart, good taste, nice fresh aroma when you grind the beans, I will be purchsing again.Product Update:I have had many good bags delivered but this one is making a bitter cup of coffee. I have tried making it a few times now and still bitter. Maybe the beans were burnt during roasting? Can't return so out $20.00. Shame becuase I really like how smooth this coffee usually is. Will try somthing else.

Amazing I can drink every day for years and do not tire of the taste.

I definitely recommend this Swiss Water Processed coffee for a more rich, flavorful experience. It's more like "French Roast" vs diner coffee. Excellent decaf!
