The documented profile
Attributed descriptors, not measured flavor intensities. See the sources below.
Flavor families classify the listed descriptors; they are not intensity or quality scores. Character bands below explain what is documented and what is still unknown.
Reading the cup
Coffee character.
The outlined band shows the reported or estimated level. These describe the cup; higher is not better.
Roast level
Reported- Light
- Medium-light
- Medium
- Medium-dark
- Dark
Placed at the roast band given by the source. This is a label, not an instrument-measured roast color. Source ↗
What does roast level mean?
The roast degree of the bean; separate from sweetness, body and quality.
Acidity
Estimated · low confidence- Gentle
- Moderate
- Bright
Fruit descriptors with a lighter roast suggest a bright cup as a working hypothesis. Acidity intensity has not been measured. Reference for estimate ↗
What does acidity mean?
The perceived brightness or tartness of the cup, not a quality score.
Sweetness
Estimated · low confidence- Subtle
- Noticeable
- Pronounced
Sweet-associated descriptors suggest noticeable sweetness as a provisional expectation. Flavor names do not measure sweetness intensity; this is a low-confidence guess. Reference for estimate ↗
What does sweetness mean?
How strong the sweet impression feels. Sweet-sounding notes can inform a guess, but do not measure its intensity.
Body / mouthfeel
Estimated · low confidence- Light
- Rounded
- Full
We provisionally expect a lighter texture alongside this lighter, fruit-led profile. Flavor and roast are weak clues to mouthfeel, so this needs tasting. Reference for estimate ↗
What does body / mouthfeel mean?
The perceived weight and texture of the coffee, separate from roast darkness.
Finish
Estimated · low confidence- Brief
- Sustained
- Lingering
A sustained finish is our low-confidence baseline in the absence of a duration description. The notes and processing do not establish how long the flavor lasts; tasting may move this band in either direction. Reference for estimate ↗
What does finish mean?
How long the flavors remain after a sip, rather than how good they are.
Coarse descriptive bands, not laboratory measurements or cupping category scores. Brewing changes the cup. Missing descriptions receive low-confidence editorial guesses, which can change after tasting.
Our take
Red Fruits Decaf is a useful challenge to a chocolate-only decaf shortlist. Black & White’s strawberry and milk-chocolate references give it a fruit-and-confectionery direction. These are attributed descriptors, not evidence of sugar content or our own tasting experience.
Processing matters to this choice
The roaster describes a strawberry co-ferment blended with a washed lot, followed by ethyl-acetate decaffeination. The added-fruit processing is worth knowing before buying: someone seeking only flavors developed from coffee itself may prefer another offering. A fruit descriptor elsewhere in the library does not, by itself, imply co-fermentation.
The source identifies Sebastián Ramirez, Quindío, Colombia, and Castillo. Decaffeinated does not mean a measured zero caffeine content; we have no laboratory result for this bag.
A useful alternative
Peruvian water-processed decaf offers chocolate and almond references without this documented co-ferment. Compare process, roast and notes together; we cannot rank their actual sweetness or quality without tasting.
Before buying
The public page showed this offering unavailable when checked on 4 October 2026. Keep it as a reference, and verify whether a later release is the same offering. No sourced quality score is recorded. Our interest rating measures documentation, not a decaf quality penalty.
On the taste landscape
Where this coffee sits.
Full map scale · Up to twelve nearby profiles. Display offsets match the full map; hollow dots use estimated roast positions. Proximity describes flavor and roast placement, not quality or identical taste.
Milk Chocolate, Strawberry, Chocolate support a mixed editorial placement. This is a comparison aid, not a measured flavor intensity. Roast uses the roaster’s relative label “lighter”, normalized to the broad Light band.
