Chocolate Truffles Decaf – Flavored Roasted Coffee

Taste & Crema

Chocolate Truffle coffee is one of those that you'll never forget. Its base is Brazil Minas Swiss Water Decaf, a decaffeinated arabica with an amazing reputation earned for the delicate taste. The flavor has chocolate and nuts, the body is rich, and the touch of natural aroma adds a harmonious note of luxury chocolate selection. In short, it's chocolate truffles in liquid form.

Origins

Let's start with a question: Do you know where Sul de Minas is and why its coffee is so special? The name suggests that it's in the south of Brazil's Minas Gerais region, famous for its rolling hills, mild climate and ideal humidity – the kind that arabica coffee trees (Coffea arabica) love. More than half of the farms in one of Brazil's largest coffee-growing areas are managed by small-scale farmers. They typically tend 10-15 hectares of plantations, where they cultivate delicious microlots, continuing a tradition founded by their ancestors.

As for this particular coffee, the variety is Bourbon arabica. It's one of the most genetically important varieties of Coffea arabica and is also renowned for its excellent taste and beautiful aroma. True, its production is lower, and its disease susceptibility is relatively high, but this does not change the fact that it is in great demand. Its name comes from the French missionaries who started growing it in the 17th century on the island of La Réunion (formerly known as Bourbon). From there, it spread to Africa and America and became globally popular.

It's been decaffeinated so that it can be enjoyed by coffee lovers who cannot go without a delicious cup of coffee in the evening. A certified process known as Swiss Water has taken care of this in a gentle way – immersing the green coffee beans in hot water and using activated charcoal to gradually extract the caffeine from them. The entire process took approximately 10 hours, during which the coffee was filtered continuously. The result is green beans containing less than 0.01% caffeine. In addition to the fact that no chemicals are used in the Swiss Water method – just water and charcoal. The coffee retains its original, full and rich flavor profile.

Now, all that is left to do is to add how it got its flavor. All our roaster had to do was spritz the coffee with some carrier oil and aromatics. The aroma has naturally worked itself into the raw beans and stays there until you taste the goodness.

Making Flavored Coffee in an Automatic Coffee Maker

If you intend to make flavored coffee in an automatic coffee maker with a tray, we recommend checking the instructions for the coffee maker to ensure this is possible. If the machine manufacturer does not provide any information on flavored coffee, follow these recommendations: The natural aroma in this coffee may react with the plastic in the tray and cause it to spot on prolonged contact. Always use only as much flavored coffee as you will immediately consume. After preparing your flavored coffee, make your next cup with unflavoured coffee. Apply same rules when grinding flavored coffee in grinders (both manual and electric).

Coffee packaging preview

Our quality aluminum packaging lacks any bold graphics, as we’d rather focus on the taste of our coffee. It always comes fresh thanks to degassing valve, which releases the gases that occur after roasting. Thanks to the hermetic seal, this container helps the contents further keep their freshness and protect them against humidity, light or foreign odors.
