Other times? Roasters want to experiment with their portfolio, seeking out new flavor notes or different partnerships. Sometimes a coffee lot shuts down because it’s not profitable enough for the farmers (and this is an issue that only gets worse by the day).
The reasons why harvests are unpredictable are broad and varied. It’s up to you if you want to play it safe and wait for another batch the next year…or take the plunge on the likely chance this is a one-of-a-kind deal. That’s not to say they can’t get another harvest later on (like when Counter Culture Coffee brought back my beloved Decaf K’yuichi). I snagged this bag when the bar was nearly empty.Īs of now? It’s sold out on the site, with no evidence it’ll be back again. Onyx Coffee Lab is very up front about the limited nature of their single-origin specialty coffee: every coffee bag comes with a bar that shows how much is still in stock. The beans are of the Castillo and Caturra variety. It’s decaffeinated using the ethyl acetate method, also known as the sugarcane method. This is a Colombian coffee from the La Serrania origin. Why is Colombian coffee so good and a regular favorite on my review lists? Let’s see why Onyx Coffee Lab and this origin have earned such a positive reputation: Origin I recently took a look at a Washington coffee roaster that slipped my notice, as well as revisited another favorite roaster of mine.

If you’re as eager to try different kinds of decaf coffee as I am, check out my Decaf, Decaf Everywhere series (which has a variety of specialty and non-specialty options). While I still can’t drink the latter (yes, I’m that sensitive), I’m glad it exists. Onyx Coffee Lab gives me plenty to love as a decaf drinker, keeping their portfolio dynamic with new decaf and half-caf options. While most roasters keep a consistent rotation of their default decaf bag, some shake things up by cycling in new ones a few times per year. I check back with my favorite roasters every few months to see if they have anything new. Anything more than three might as well be a blue moon, and you should savor it just as much. Two bags is a nice surprise! Three bags is very rare.
A token decaf bag is the standard (and still not always guaranteed). We often get the short end of the stick when it comes to portfolio variety. It’s always good news when a favorite roaster brings in another decaf.īeing a strict decaf coffee drinker can leave you disappointed when browsing roasters.
