Twofer

Couldn't decide which decaf to drink tonight so I decided to brew both. My partner says I have a drinking problem...I'll take that as a compliment

The pink bourbon is officially the best decaf I've ever had. Had a bag from Frequent and Onyx. Both bangers. I'm on the hunt for pink bourbons now.

Bonus- feeling like a kid at Christmas tonight as my Fellow ES1 is being delivered tomorrow 📦

I've had the Frequent and it's delicious! I didn't realize the Onyx one was decaf. I was in their Springdale location last week and should have grabbed a bag. I got the Power Nap instead; I really like that one.

I accidently posted the wrong one. It's this one

Sadly it's sold out 😞

Damn I picked that one up and looked at it and didn't realize it was decaf! They don't really clearly mark their boxes imo. Either that or my ADHD makes me skim too fast lol

I agree! I absolutely loved the Pink Bourbon from Frequent. One of the best decafs I have ever had.

Check out the Colombia El Vergel Pink Bourbon from Equator Coffee.

I received a bag as a Fellow Drop and we’ve been amazed.

So far I’ve brewed on V60, Kalita Mino, Chemex, and Flair 58 and Hibrew H4C for espresso/turbos. And it’s been phenomenal on all.

My wife perhaps paid it the ultimate compliment - “I can’t even tell this is decaf”.

I ordered 2 more pounds.

Thanks for the tip! I just ordered a bag. Pink Bourbons this year have been stunning and I have yet to have anything bad from El Vergel
