From the storied Guji region, this deeply fruity Ethiopian decaf originates in Benti Nenka village, where smallholder farmers cultivate coffee under native shade trees and companion crops at elevations that unlock the region's signature vibrancy. Processed at Eyasu Worasa's Guduba mill - a facility refined over a decade of meticulous craft - this natural process lot reveals lush berry and stone fruit character balanced by delicate florality and a refined tea-like finish. Swiss Water decaffeination preserves the nuanced complexity that makes Ethiopian coffees exceptional, delivering full sensory experience without caffeine.

Carefully Crafting Every Cup

Responsibly Grown Coffee

This coffee comes from the Benti Nenka village in Hambela, where coffee crops - usually smallholder farms of less than two hectares - are planted under and among shady garden vegetation such as false banana trees and other crops used as food. The high altitudes and uniquely beneficial climates here allow for the vibrancy and nuance Ethiopian coffees, particularly from Guji, are so well known for.

Swiss Water Process Decaffeinated

The Swiss Water process of decaffeination allows the vibrant flavors that Luz has cultivated, as she has worked thoughtfully to improve farming practices, combat damaging insects, and select the highest quality ripe cherries. Her efforts show in the resulting cup. Swiss Water Process is widely considered as the gold standard in natural decaffeination.  

Light Roast Bursting with Flavor

The light roast of this Ethiopia natural single origin highlights the beautiful taste of the coffee without overpowering.
