About Rwandan Retreat Swiss Water Decaf Coffee
This Rwandan decaf is grown by a cooperative of women whose coffee supports their families’ futures. Caffeine is removed with the water-based Swiss Water Process, while the cup retains a juicy fruit profile and smooth honey-cacao finish. Explore it with other specialty coffee selections available through Espresso Outlet.
The tasting notes are sensory descriptions, not added flavors unless explicitly stated. Grind, water chemistry, roast development and extraction influence acidity, sweetness, body, clarity and finish.

Brewing Guidance
Begin filter brewing near a 1:16 brew ratio with water around 195–200°F. Decaffeinated coffee can extract differently from fully caffeinated coffee, so grind finer for a thin or sharp cup and coarser for dryness or bitterness. For espresso, start with an 18 g dose and 36–42 g beverage yield.
A capable Turin grinder makes small grind adjustments repeatable. If you brew concentrated drinks, compare compatible Turin espresso machines and weigh both dose and beverage yield.
