Elevation: 1600-1890m

This limited release micro lot comes from the renowned coffee-growing region of Nyeri in central Kenya. Grown in the highland soils near Mount Kenya at elevations of 1600–1890m, these coffees are known for their lively acidity and complex fruit notes.

The cherries were harvested by two cooperatives of over 800 smallholder farmers - the Rukira and Mutheka Kigwandi cooperatives. This coffee is a rare example of a Kenyan decaf that delivers the bold fruit profile the origin is famous for, balanced by a medium roast that brings out deeper notes of walnut and chocolate.

After drying this coffee was shipped to Swiss Water Decaf in Vancouver, Canada, where it is decaffeinated using a 100% chemical-free water process. The resultant coffee is 99.9% caffeine free.

Arabica coffee typically contains 1.4-1.6% caffeine by weight and decaffeination can remove most but not all of the caffeine.

The Swiss Water Decaffeination Process

1. Soaking
The raw coffee is soaked to expand the beans in preparation for decaffeination.
2. Green Coffee Extract
The coffee is added to a liquid Green Coffee Extract (GCE). This is pure water + all water soluble solids in coffee, except for caffeine.
3. Diffusion
The imbalance in caffeine between the coffee and the GCE causes caffeine to migrate from the beans to the GCE.
4. Dried and Bagged
When the coffee is 99.9% caffeine free, it is dried and bagged ready for shipping.

Freshly Roasted

We roast on Tuesdays and Thursdays and dispatch the following day.
