      ABOUT

      Surprising and delightful, we present our bespoke Decaf EA Eastern Kenya! Our newest decaf visits Makueni and Machakos counties to the east of Nairobi.

      You may recognise this distinctive profile from past coffees like Uvuu: vibrant white currant and kiwi-like acidity, and notes of chamomile. The Kikima Cooperative, who operate Uvuu Washing Station, exemplifies the region’s character. In spite of big challenges to infrastructure, Uvuu has a high baseline of quality, suggesting that small improvements could open up even more clarity for this terroir.

      Over time, we’ve learned that this profile meshes well with the EA decaf process, which supplements these unique flavours with sweetness and balance. To get the volume we needed to create this decaf lot, we combined top lots from three washing stations: repeater Kikima Uvuu of Makueni County, plus Mukuyuni and Mitaboni Kalua from neighbouring Machakos.
