Repose Decaf
Funky, fruity, tropical fruit, berry, brown sugar. Not words you usually see on a decaf. It's an experimental-process Colombian Caturra grown at 1,750 meters, roasted medium. If you've written off decaf as boring, this listing makes a case against that.
Pick it if funky, fruity and tropical fruit sound good to you.
