Decaf Monk is as fresh and flavorful as our caffeinated coffees and pairs wonderfully with milk. You can expect this EA version to have a more fruit forward acidity, in comparison to previous Swiss Water processed offerings. It remains balanced with a complex cane sugar sweetness and cream-like body. Our current taste notes are all juicy, sweet, and comforting - dark chocolate, cane sugar, brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, winey, raspberry, cherry, orange.
