The Sets

Chocolatey & Smooth

Brazil Cerrado · Colombia Huila · Ozark Goodness Blend

Rich, creamy, low-acid. The three most crowd-pleasing coffees we carry, all in the same direction. If you want something reliably satisfying and deeply chocolatey, this is your set.

Bright & Fruity

Ethiopia Guji · Nicaragua Jinotega · Costa Rica Tarrazu

Three coffees that will change your mind about what coffee can taste like. Berry, citrus, stone fruit, wine — complex and alive. These are the ones that make people say "wait, that's from coffee?"

Nutty & Balanced

Guatemala Alma · Mexico Chiapas · Peru Cajamarca

Clean, sweet, approachable. Dried fruit, brown sugar, gentle citrus. Three washed coffees with balanced acidity and medium body — excellent for people who want variety without going too far in either direction.

The Adventurous

Ethiopia Guji · Costa Rica Tarrazu · Whiskey Barrel Aged Brazil

For the person who wants something genuinely different. Two bright complex origins plus the barrel aged wildcard.

Mixed Intro

Brazil Cerrado · Ethiopia Guji · Colombia Huila

The best first-timer set — one chocolatey, one fruity, one balanced. Shows the full range in three bags.

Available in decaf — all Swiss Water Process

How to Brew

All samples are whole bean, roasted to medium. Grind fresh for best results. Pour-over, drip, French press, AeroPress — all work great with these coffees.

Common Questions

Swiss Water® Process decaf is 99.9% caffeine-free. A typical cup of decaf contains 2-5mg of caffeine compared to 95-200mg in regular coffee.
Yes. We roast for flavor, not caffeine. The quality of the bean and roast matters more than caffeine content. Our single-origin decafs taste incredible—full of flavor, zero compromise.

Is this really decaf?

I was that person that always said NO to decaf but I had a friend over one day and she couldn’t have caffeine so it made me think that I need a good decaf coffee on my coffee bar. I didn’t know specialty decaf coffee exists! A coffee friend recommended Talking Crow coffee so I decided to give it a try. I wanted this to be an event so I decided to do a small home cupping and I’m glad I did because I got to taste all three of them. I couldn’t even tell it was decaf! The flavors came through so well. I can’t wait to taste the others! If decaf tastes like this then I will have to add this to my coffee bar permanently.

I've been learning more about espresso and got a legit setup

I've been learning more about espresso and got a legit setup, and have learned how much fresh beans are important. They roasted my order the day after I placed it and sent it right away. Great Coffee! The whiskey aged one very much tastes of whiskey, a unique roast for sure and I love it. Thanks Carol and Eric!!!

Classic roast that brings back good memories.

Started out by testing the Columbia Origin in a pour over. Amazing coffee! Way better than Starbucks. Classic roast that brings back good memories.

Incredible freshly roasted beans, lovely friendly people

I ordered a sample kit with 8 coffees and a big bag of Brazil Half Caf. Everything arrived on time, freshly roasted and in lovely packaging. I'm absolutely thrilled.

Carol was so helpful. She answered lots of my questions and helped guide me to the right coffee choice based on my taste.

I would strongly recommend Talking Crow coffee, they are by far the best coffee company I've ordered from. 10/10. I will be ordering again

A great way to find your favorite

I was introduced to Talking Crow through the James Hoffman Decaf Project and was impressed with their decaf beans. When I came back to order a bag I wasn't sure which one I wanted so went with the Mix n Match option. The samplers have been great, allowing me to taste a variety to help me get a better baseline for what I enjoy. Thanks.

First time "Talking Crow Head" here so I decided to try the Sampler

First time "Talking Crow Head" here so I decided to try the Sampler. I chose Brazil Cerrado, Brazil whiskey barrel aged and Colombia Huila. Each one has their own unique flavor, but I'd have to admit the Huila makes my heart skip a beat! It's simply Yummm in a Cup!

Delighted

I have Meniere's disease and coffee is a trigger for me so I haven't been able to drink it for almost a year. This coffee is not affecting me so far and I am so delighted to enjoy coffee again. I would never guess it's decaf because it's so good!

Brought the joy of coffee back into my life!

I chose to cut caffeine from my life 9 years ago. But unfortunately that meant losing the ritual and joy of a warm cup of coffee in the morning. I figured I'd never have a good, near zero caffeine decaf option, so I resigned to losing coffee forever.

Then I stumbled upon Talking Crow. I read into the Swiss Water Process and learned that it removes nearly all caffeine and got excited. I figured a sampler set would be a great way to reintroduce myself to coffee, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase.

The set arrived quickly, was packaged nicely. Im still currently working my way through all the flavors offered in the sampler set, but every flavor I've tried has been wonderful so far. Happy to recommend this coffee to anyone who will listen!

Thanks for bring coffee back into my life!

Great value, very good coffee

It's such a great option to be able to sample coffee without committing to a whole bag. I've already got one of my samples in the re-order list, as it's fantastic.

4 oz sample is perfect size for a complete tasting

Love this 4 oz option for trying flavors I would not want to first time buy a 12-16oz bag. Other places offer 2 oz samples but I find them too little as I like to sample the coffee over a couple days to get my real flavor profile.

I like this option

Of trying out several coffee options before buying a larger bag.
