This is a medium roast decaf blend utilizing a water process to remove caffeine. The coffee is grown between 1400 and 1800 meters above sea level. The blend consists of Catuai, Castillo, and Bourbon varieties. Flavor notes include walnut, brown sugar, and chocolate. The coffee is roasted to a medium roast profile to highlight chocolatey notes without unwanted flavors. It is suitable for drip, espresso, and milk drinks.
Mike Mann founded The Roasted Record in 2013 in Stuart, Florida, starting on his front porch with a small roaster and a collection of vinyl records. The business opened its first permanent home in a renovated mid century modern building in 2017, where Mann now operates two Diedrich roasters: a larger machine for production and a smaller one for competition roasts and limited edition releases. The product line pays homage to its origins, with blends named The 33, 45, and 78 after vinyl record speeds. Mann has won bronze medals at the Golden Bean North America Competition in 2019, 2022, and 2023, and competed in the U.S. Coffee Championship Semifinals.
