What Eight Fifty Espresso say

The Sokoto Red Bean is more than just a coffee; it's a testament to the art of coffee making, offering a decaffeinated option that doesn’t compromise on taste or quality. Whether enjoyed in the quiet of the morning or as an afternoon treat, each cup is a journey through the coffee-rich regions of Mexico. Join us in this adventure, and let the Sokoto Red Bean Espresso become a cherished part of your daily coffee ritual.

The Sokoto Red Bean is a unique decaffeinated blend hailing from the rich coffee regions of Chiapas, Mexico. This blend includes:

Caturra: Known for its full body and bright acidity, Caturra adds a lively dimension to the blend.

Typica: The Typica varietal brings a traditional and balanced profile, contributing to the blend's overall harmony.

Catuai: This varietal is valued for its sweet and rounded flavours, which round out the blend beautifully.

These varietals are expertly combined to create a decaffeinated coffee that maintains the rich flavours characteristic of Mexican coffee.

Despite being decaffeinated, the Sokoto Red Bean offers a rich and indulgent flavour profile:

Toffee Sweetness: The primary notes of toffee provide a comforting and familiar sweetness.

Malt and Toasty Nuances: Complementing the toffee are malt and toasty nuances, adding depth and complexity to the coffee.

The Sokoto Red Bean undergoes water decaffeination, a gentle process that preserves the coffee's intrinsic flavours:

Preserving Flavors: This method uses water to extract caffeine, ensuring the coffee's natural flavours remain intact.

Non-Chemical Process : Unlike other decaffeination methods, water decaffeination is chemical-free, maintaining the coffee's purity and quality.

Grind: 23 grams of finely ground Sokoto Red Bean espresso roast.

Yield: Target a 46-gram yield for a full-flavored espresso.

SEEKER: Oh great and wise one, I have so many questions.

GURU: You’re asking for my secret. It’s drinking lots of decaf.

GURU: Yes, of course. Repeat after me. Sit. Drink. Think.

SEEKER: And how long did it take you to become enlightened doing this?

GURU: I am. I’m very happy. I just sit, drink, and never think. I’m a goddamn genius.
