Descafeinado Instantâneo Colômbia Inzá San Antonio

I was skeptical about instant decaf holding up, but this Inzá washed lot actually has real structure to it. It dissolves clean in hot water and still tastes like coffee, not just brown water, with a sweetness that lingers a bit.

The decaf actually keeps the sweetness I expect from a Colombian — no flat, papery aftertaste like most instant decafs I've tried. It dissolves clean in hot water and works just as well over ice for an afternoon drink.

I drink this every night after dinner and it's become a little ritual I actually look forward to. For an instant it holds onto that structured sweetness you'd expect from a washed Colombian, not the flat cardboard taste of most decafs. I dissolve it in hot milk and it never turns bitter.
