Good decaf coffee beans from local roasters?

Question

For medical reasons, I have to cut out almost all caffeine. Tragically this means I have to switch to decaf coffee, which means starting the search for a good roast all over.

So, any recommendations for decaf beans from a local roaster? (for drip coffee)

I am a bit particular, but I'm willing to try new things. Generally I prefer lighter roasts with fruity notes, and I've particularly enjoyed coffee from Ethiopia. My dream would be to find a single-origin Ethiopian roast, but what I've found so far in decaf has been blends, or from Brazil/Colombia. I've been mostly buying from Coffee Circle for the last few years, and while I am going to try their offerings in decaf I'd like to branch out.

I'd check out Cafe Voz in Kreuzberg, they do a single-origin decaf from Guatemala that's processed with sugarcane instead of chemicals, so it keeps a lot of the brightness. Not Ethiopian, but it's got this clean citrus thing that might work for you. They roast in small batches and sell at their shop on Oranienstrasse, usually around 12-14 euro for 250g.

Yeah, Bonanza has a solid decaf that's lighter than most - not Ethiopian but it's got that bright, fruity thing going on. You could also try The Barn, they do a single-origin decaf now and then but it sells out fast.

honestly, check out Fjord Coffee, they've got a washed decaf from Colombia that's pretty light and clean, not your typical dark decaf. also, Populus Coffee in Neukolln sometimes carries a nice single-origin decaf from Peru if you ask, they rotate their stock a lot
