Repose 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.

Repose consists of a blend of Caturra beans, which are known for their petite nature, and Pink Bourbon beans, which are known for their pink-and-orange cherries. The beans are grown in western Colombia and decaffeinated through the natural ethyl acetate process, in which they are soaked in a solution of the titular chemical compound — which is derived from sugarcane molasses — to allow for bonding with the caffeine and removal. The beans are ultimately cleaned with steam, resulting in a fruity decaf blend with notes of strawberry, raspberry, and brown sugar. Methodical recommends the pour over and espresso methods for brewing its blends.
