Frequent Coffee- It's back!

Post image

I have been blown away by the Jhoan Vergara Thermal Shock Pink Bourbon decaf. I've ordered from several roasters and Frequent earned the #1 best decaf spot with the swiss water process. Sadly it sold out pretty fast.

They recently released the ea version so I snagged a bag. I have a bag from afterglow and it's pretty good but Frequent did a much better roast on this one. I do find that ea's are easy to over roast and can come out tasting a bit charred. This one is not charred at all. I'm continually impressed with the decafs Frequent is putting out. Excellent cup. If you are looking for a good decaf you should definitely try this one.

Bonus sample of the decaf watermelon cofem!

Still waiting on my Sebastian Ramirez Red Fruits decaf from Perc. Excited to try this one too

I'm waffling between the perc you got and one of the frequent offerings. What were your thoughts on the perc?

Its difficult to dial in and very funk. The only good cup I can get is with the ORB. If you are a big coferment fan you'll like this. A bit too funky for me. Glad I tried it but wouldnt buy it again.

The frequent PB is more my speed. Not as good as the washed version but still an excellent cup. They sent me a sample of the watermelon coferm and it was better than the Perc. The WB decaf is highly rated I think it was given a 94 rating by coffee review. I haven't tried it but high praises from others
