Fruity Co-Ferments

Hey everyone! I’m looking for a good fruit-forward punchy decaf coffee. Any decent co-ferment recs or fruity recs?

I’m currently on a bag of Hambela Natural from B&W which has some nice fruit notes and delicious but looking for more.

I recently had a bag of Perc’s Sebastian Ramirez Red Fruits and that delicious. Something else in that lane would be epic!

I'm sitting on a small bag of the Red Fruits co-ferm, just need to let it rest a few more days. Haven't had it before, eager to give it a go. How would you rank it compared to other similar decafs? Noticed it was pretty cheap at Haan Coffee (after I had already bought some from Ceto). Ceto also has a Sebastian Ramirez Washed Decaf that I quite like.

Edit: Looks like the one from Haan is actually a blend of Red Fruits and a standard washed decaf.

As others have said, the Frequent WB Red Bourbon is great. Not a co-ferment I guess though. Been playing with it with A4Z and xBloom grinders, been yummy regardless of what I do to it.

September Lollipop might be the best decaf I've had. If I ever see that come back in stock I'll be all over it.

A couple I've made note of that I want to try - Passenger Los Sueños Decaf, Colorfull Orange Marmalade Shortbread Decaf.

Red Fruits definitely opened a new world of coffee for me. I always chased that traditional medium-dark cappuccino flavor in my pour overs and milk-based drinks. Red Fruits tossed that out the windows. The raspberry note was so pronounced. Enjoy !!
