Wanderer's Rest - Decaf

A smooth medium roast with rich earthy, herbal, and dark chocolate notes.

Recommended Brew Method: Pour Over (Hario V60 or Chemex) — this method best showcases the Wanderer's Rest Decaf's smooth body and balanced sweetness.

Grind Size: Medium

Water Temperature: 195–200°F (90–93°C) — optimal for extracting flavor without over-extracting the decaffeinated beans

Coffee-to-Water Ratio: 1:16 (approximately 2 tablespoons per 6 oz of water)

Brew Time: 3–4 minutes

Drip Machine Method: Use a standard automatic drip brewer with a medium grind. The consistent heat and contact time work well for decaf, producing a clean, balanced cup without bitterness. Brew time typically 5–6 minutes depending on machine.

Alternate Brew Methods:

French Press: Use a coarse grind, 4-minute steep, and 195°F water. This method highlights the coffee's natural body and sweetness. Ideal for a fuller-bodied cup.

AeroPress: Medium grind, 1:15 ratio, 90-second brew. Quick and clean extraction that brings out subtle chocolate and caramel notes.

Moka Pot: Use a fine grind and fill the filter basket level with the top. Produces a concentrated, espresso-like shot perfect for milk-based drinks.

Turkish: Extra-fine grind, 1:10 ratio, heated slowly in a cezve until foam rises three times. Creates a rich, full-bodied experience.

Tasting Tip: Allow the cup to cool slightly before tasting — the sweetness and subtle fruit notes become more apparent as temperature drops.

Storage: Keep in an airtight container away from heat, light, and moisture. Best consumed within 3–4 weeks of roast date.

Indonesia, Mandhelingo

Mandhelingo is located in the highlands of Sulawesi, where traditional farming methods and unique processing create distinctive Indonesian coffee characteristics. The region's smallholder farms utilize time-honored cultivation practices in volcanic soils, producing beans with the full body and earthy complexity that defines premium Indonesian coffee.

1,200-1,600 MASL (meters above sea level)

Semi-washed processing method typical of Indonesian coffees enhances the natural body and earthy characteristics. The beans undergo partial fermentation and controlled drying, developing the distinctive full-bodied profile. The Swiss Water Process decaffeination method removes 99.9% of caffeine while preserving the coffee's natural flavors and characteristics, resulting in a full-flavored decaf experience.
