By blending equal parts naturally caffeinated and decaffeinated Supremo beans, the roast keeps much of the original flavor profile—juicy citrus, fresh berry notes and a chocolatey finish—while reducing the caffeine content for later‑day enjoyment. Whole bean format preserves aromatics and lets you grind to match your preferred brewing method.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this blend taste compared with a fully caffeinated Colombian?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eExpect a light‑roast Colombian profile with bright acidity and a medium‑to‑full body.
