Kericho County Decaf

  • Orange,

Decaf is often overlooked, an afterthought. A Kenyan decaf with full traceability from a single producer? Practically unheard of. We're excited to be able to offer something a little different.

Expect all the bright citrus notes and clean acidity associated with great Kenyan coffees, minus the caffeine.

Bright & Citrusy

Expect lots of bright citrus notes upfront, followed by a sweetness reminiscent of honeydew melon.

Sugar Cane Decaf Process

The “Sugar Cane Process” uses ethyl acetate as a solvent to extract caffeine from coffee. Ethyl acetate is a naturally occurring compound that is a by-product of sugar cane molasses fermentation. It is also found in fruits like bananas, apples and strawberries.
