What hits the nose first when one opens the bag is a gentle sweetness. The second whiff draws in subtle citrus notes, fruit salad, and a meaty-nut. After brewing, it is a coffee fragrance with hints of sweet chocolate. The taste is, in a word, balanced. There is a harmonious triptych of coffee, chocolate and nuts that have been painted with a brush dipped in fruit juice. Smooth and super-balanced, with low acidity and a pleasing sweet fruity finish, this bean accommodates a broad palate.

The key to good decaf is starting with a superior bean! This Colombian is of the highest quality and managed expertly through the German, strictly-controlled MC decaf process.  The result is phenomenal. Chocolate, coffee, deep flavors. Luxuriously silky in your mouth. Better than every non-decaf on shelves today.

Good to the Last Drop

Peregrine Bespoke Coffee Service

flavor flav!

We awoke to find a man taking over our kitchen. We thought, Should we beat him with this baseball bat?

But he offered us great coffee, and we decided he’d go unharmed.

The man was Kevin Lawrence, owner of Peregrine Coffee. He came over to let us try his bespoke coffee service (we had no intention of ever beating him).

He brought five beans (Colombian, Kenyan, Indian, Guatemalan, and Panamanian) that he ground and brewed while asking which flavors we wanted first thing in the morning. We sipped and sampled, then ordered our favorite batch. Which he will now deliver, fresh roasted, every week, month, or as we need it.

The coffee was good. Real good.

And Lawrence escaped, although we considered holding him hostage.
