About the people who grow it
This washed Sidamo Decaf doesn't whisper; it speaks volumes. Clear notes of crisp apple, and toasted almond come through without the caffeine. Decaf done right, it keeps the spirit of the bean intact, and is an inspiring representation of how far decaf has come. Comprised of Landrace varietals from Sidamo, this coffee was fully-washed, dried on raised beds, and then sent to the world's only Mountain Water Processing Center (in Veracruz, Mexico) to be 99% decaffeinated with the pristine water of Pico de Orizaba (tallest mountain in Mexico). The result is, pure and simple, a delicious Ethiopian - with its complex fruit and natural sweetness.
The Sidamo region’s fertile soil lends rich nutrients and deep color to its coffee. Good weather means good coffee. It is very likely that in and around the Sidamo region is where coffee had its origins. Sidamo coffee is well-balanced with berry notes, and complex citrus acidity. The Sidamo highlands have elevations from 5,000 up to 7,000 feet above sea level. Here the Ethiopian coffees grow more slowly and therefore have more time to absorb nutrients and develop more robust flavors based on the local climate and soil conditions.
