Being a newbie at the roasting game, I am hoping for some 
advice on Decaf beans.  My WBI rocks and I am roasting to my satisfaction 
(and my wife's/neighbors/office workers!) but my bod can't handle the caffine. 
But today on a rainy Oregon morning I couldn't resist a Malabar Gold latte'! 
Anyone have some favorite decaf beans or blends?? I guess I like the dark roast 
stuff and have tried SM's Kodomo and Mexican Esmerelda blends.  I am 
roasting these guyz to second pop at about 450 degrees for just under 8 minutes. 
My roast is just showing a couple spots of oil.  Am I "in the groove" for a 
good decaf roast?

Bob,
I was incredibly surprised with the Sumatra Decaf. 
I like regular Sumatra's and was expecting a decaf to be less but it's perfect 
for me to get that great taste in the late afternoon or evening.
