Hello everyone!
The past year I’ve been getting into coffee a bit more. I love brewing my own thermos in the morning since the coffee at work is insert descriptive terminology.
However I’ve always been pretty sensitive to caffeine. If I drink a daily cup for weeks I’ll end up with my heart going nuts at the least bit of stress (my adhd meds probably contribute to this). And my sleeping pattern totally messed up.
So decaf it is, which limits my choices.
My question: does the quality of coffee have anything to do with this? Type of beans? Roast?
I find with decaf, it is the process that matters the most. Good quality beans will go through a water decaf process just fine and come out tasting great. The challenging is finding the quality beans AND somewhere willing to do the decaf process right. Roasting also plays an important part to flavor. So gotta find a good roaster too that isn’t destroying the fuck out of the flavor by overdoing it into bitter sludge.
