Peru Lima Decaf
Decaf doesn't have to mean dull. This organic Peruvian is decaffeinated with mountain water and roasted medium, and the notes read sweet, brown sugar, baking spice and citrus. Grown at 1,650 to 1,800 meters, and sold as beans, ground or pods.
Pick it if brown sugar sounds good to you; organic matters to you; you want decaf.
Best for Evening coffee drinkers who still want some flavor

Sweet and tart at once, says the listing, with citrus, apple and baking spice. Alma roasts this washed Yirgacheffe medium rather than light, which suits anyone who finds very bright coffees a bit thin. Grown at 1,900 to 2,100 meters, and sold whole bean, ground or in pods.
Pick it if tart and apple sound good to you.
