Kenya Decaf (Kericho County) Sugar Cane Process

This fully washed AA decaf coffee grown in Kericho County, Rift Valley in Kenya is bold, velvety and has a super acidity. It was processed by Samuel Koskey at a Lot 20 satellite processing facility in Kunyak, located at the border of Kericho and Kisumu counties. Samuel manages this small facility on his farm, where Lot 20 has invested in 10 drying beds and piping from a natural spring. This enables them to produce a classic washed speciality coffee (cupped at 87!) from one of Kenya’s most historic and significant coffee-growing regions.

If you're off the caffeine for a while, or just love your decaf, this stunning Ethyl Acetate Method Decaf (a natural 'Sugar Cane' method using a compound found in fruits and fermented sugar) genuinely isn't to be missed - and is from the brilliant Omwani who have now ventured into Decaf options – they also source our Burundi, some Ethiopian lots and the fabulous Bukonzo from Uganda. Direct from farm, this is a lovely clean coffee with tonnes of citrus and with floral undertones and a malt body, it is perfect for that v60 or espresso.
