Decaf proves that coffee is about more than caffeine. Sometimes you just want something warm, comforting, and delicious to enjoy, not just something to wake you up.
We selected this coffee for its natural sweetness, rounded body, and bright apple-like acidity. Whether brewed as drip or pulled as espresso, it produces a balanced cup with notes of apple, brown sugar, and graham cracker.
About the Producer:
Bukonzo Organic Farmers Co-operative Union was started in 2009 to try to increase the prices gained by farmers for their coffee production. This region of SW Uganda has historically been made up of home processed and natural coffees of lower commercial qualities. Recognising the excellent growing conditions for arabica production, Bukonzo invested in 36 local micro washing stations designed to process high quality fully washed coffees, as well as securing organic certification for their farmers. This approach has allowed an increase in premiums reaching the farmers in what is one of the most impoverished parts of the country, creating a sustainable industry for which they can provide for their families. Bukonzo also place a large emphasis on environmental sustainability, using organic fertilisers from local livestock and intercropping with bananas, beans, fruit trees, coco-yams, vanilla, passionfruit, and mango trees.
The Swiss Water® Process uses pure green coffee extract and proprietary carbon technology to remove caffeine from green coffee beans. Swiss Water® has specified the pore size of the carbon to match the caffeine molecule to ensure only the caffeine is trapped when the caffeine is captured from the green coffee extract.
