Story

Our latest decaf, sourced through importer Keynote, is a blend of Ethiopian grade 1 beans from producers in the Sidamo region. The coffees are a mix of natural and washed processes, made up of heirloom varietals grown at 1,800-2,000 meters above sea level.

Producers harvest and process the cherries using methods typical to the region, bringing together the clarity of washed lots and the fuller fruit character of naturals. The coffee was then decaffeinated by Keynote to preserve its original profile.

The result is a decaf that stays true to its origin. In the cup we're tasting notes of almonds, milk chocolate, and dried fruits, with a subtle sweetness that works well across brewing methods.
