Ethiopia - Limmu Kossa (CO2 Decaf)

Ethiopia - Limmu Kossa (CO2 Decaf)

A great coffee to drink when you are craving coffee but can’t use caffeine.

As you might know, Ethiopia is the birthplace of coffee. Coffee from Ethiopia is one of a kind and offers a very recognizable and distinct flavour profile. Most Ethiopian coffees are a mixture of many varieties. That means the terroir is more responsible for those distinct and recognizable flavours than the varieties. Cool, right?!

This coffee comes straight from the Limmu Kossa region near the village Wolensu. This natural coffee is produced by the woman Genet Seifu. In Ethiopia it’s a rare fact that a woman owns her own farm. We are happy to support coffees that are produced by women to help increase the income and status of female producers. This fights women's rights and  makes them more equal in this still very male dominant culture. 

The coffee grows at an average altitude of 1900 meters above sea level. The altitude causes slow cherry maturation and the cherries suffer less damage from insects. This will give you a sweeter cup with more depth in flavour.

Co2 Decaffination 

This coffee was decaffeinated with CO2. CO2 is naturally present in the air and the sparkling water we drink. During the decaffeination process, it is used in its supercritical state, which is between its liquid phase and its gaseous phase. It then selectively extracts caffeine while retaining the aromatic molecules in the beans.
