Based in Greenville, SC, Wimp is flipping the script on decaf coffee being for “wimps” with their vibrant offerings. Coltrane is one of their most-loved staples, decaffeinated with natural ethyl acetate to remove 97% of caffeine while retaining the coffee’s flavor and complexity. We tasted maple syrup, tangerine, and stewed apples. 🌎 Origin: Colombia 💦 Process: Washed EA Decaf 🔬 Variety: Various ⛰️ Elevation: 1,700 - 1,900 MASL 🔥 Roast: Medium ⚖️ Bag Size: 12 oz

The flavor is really rich, especially considering it's decaf. I picked up the whole bean option and ground it fresh, but the roast felt a touch lighter than I usually prefer for a medium. Still, a very enjoyable mug of coffee.
This decaf coffee is absolutely delicious and tastes just like regular coffee.
I'm genuinely surprised by how much complexity this decaf has. The fruity notes are present but not overwhelming. It's a really good option for those who want less caffeine without giving up a good brew.
Honestly, I wasn't expecting this much flavor from a decaf. The maple syrup notes are definitely there, and it has a really pleasant, full body. My partner switched to decaf a few months ago, and finding a delicious option has been a challenge until now. This is a genuinely satisfying cup of coffee, perfect for any time of day.
The coffee itself isn't bad quality, but the flavor profile just wasn't what I was hoping for. I found the tangerine and stewed apple notes to be a bit too prominent for my taste in a daily brew. I prefer something a little more traditional, less on the fruity side. It's well-made, just not my cup of tea, so to speak.
