Context

Luis Alberto Balladerez's Borbón from Nicaragua's Las Segovias region brings decaffeinated coffee into fuller, more textured territory. Processed using the Swiss Water method—a solvent-free decaffeination approach—this lot maintains the varietal's characteristic body while expressing warm, grounded flavors: sesame snap and oat cookie notes with subtle chicory earthiness. Grown at 1500 masl in a region known for balanced, full-bodied coffees, this decaf demonstrates that removing caffeine needn't mean sacrificing depth or complexity. Bows & Arrows Coffee has selected this coffee for those seeking serious flavor without stimulation, making it an excellent option for evening drinking or caffeine-sensitive palates.
