Unwind Decaf 12oz Coffee

Will Shurtz, Marco Suarez, and David Baker put their heads together to open Methodical Coffee's first cafe in downtown Greenville, South Carolina, in 2015, and have since expanded to open further locations around Greenville and in Columbia. Describing themselves as "coffee nerds, not coffee snobs," the three each play distinct roles — with Will personally overseeing production and roasting beans from Africa, Central America, and South America in small batches, Marco handling brand design, and David managing operations. Everything they do follows what they call their company's Methodista values: being mindful, personal, creative, tenacious, and grateful.

Unwind consists of Ethiopian-grown Castillo beans, which are the most common bean grown in Colombia, prized for their resistance to coffee leaf rust. Unwind's Castillo beans are decaffeinated through the Mountain Water process, first being steamed to prepare for a soak in a solution containing every chemical compound contained with the bean — except for caffeine, that is. The solution draws out the caffeine in several rounds of soaking. Whereas a typical Arabica bean is 1.2 percent caffeine by dry weight, Unwind beans are decaffeinated to less than .01 percent caffeine by dry weight. The result is a robust cup of decaf that offers notes of chocolate and almond butter. Methodical recommends the pour over and espresso methods for brewing its blends.
