    CRU Kafe Organic Decaf review

    Origin: 100% coffee from Peru Intensity: 7 Buy: Order Organic Decaf at CRU Kafe , Order Organic Decaf at Amazon The decaf offering from CRU Kafe, fully single origin from Peru. Organic, Fairtrade and 100% aluminium capsules. Light brown foam. Delicate aroma, resembling a coffee with milk or a milk chocolate bar. Sweet and velvety in mouth, a medium-bodied cup. The milk taste is the predominant one, with a bright acidity that complements the overall taste profile without contrasting it a bit. Some nutty notes can be noticed, of the more gentle ones like cashews. A delicate and harmonious coffee, boasting a very nice mouthfeel and a convincingly milky aroma.

At first taste it’s not bitter at all, lightly acidic, medium body. The smokiness is predominant, with a subtle, molasses-like, sweetness. A coffee that definitely can remind you of a whisky, not a Bourbon but a not very peaty Scotch. At lower temperatures the sweetness assumes a more liquorice aspect, with acidity becoming more upfront. With…

Organic, Fairtrade and 100% aluminium capsules. Brown foam. Malty aroma is predominant, quite strong. The aroma is alike a typical european café, dark and strong.

    Origin: single origin Colombian coffee Intensity: 8 Buy: Order Organic Colombian at CRU Kafe , Order Organic Colombian at Amazon A single origin from only Colombian farms. Organic, Fairtrade and 100% aluminium capsules. Light brown foam. Nutty aroma, with a sweet, fruity, undertone. A brilliant acidity that mingles with a moderate bitterness. A light-medium bodied cup. The acidity becomes more predominant at low temperatures. Apple flavours prevails over the nutty ones during the tasting. Most of the acidity has a fruit-like quality, with a tang of berries, less bright than at first sip. A coffee that evolves during the tasting experience. Persistent crema.
