50% Union San Pedro Decaf / 50% Cocatu

Cocatu’s flavours of dried fruit and citrus merge with sweet, nutty notes of  Ethyl-acetate decaf from Oaxaca’s Union San Pedro in our latest half-caff blend.

When brewed, we discovered an average caffeine content of 40 mg/dl for this blend. If you’d like to learn how caffeine content is measured, check out James' video on the process here.

      ABOUT

      Our latest half caff is truly a gem! Sparkling pear notes dance over fruits-of-the-forest depth in this combination of Cocatu and Decaf EA Union San Pedro.

      East Africa returns to Half Caff with Cocatu from Tumba in Rwanda’s Rulindo district. Kinini Washing Station purchases cherries from the Cocatu producer group and creates this impeccable washed lot. Kinini is owned by Jacqueline Turner and Malcolm Clear, and is part of a business partnership with area farmers that grew from the founding of their charity, A New Beginning, in 2008. Kinini’s processing here is exceptionally clean, highlighting the piquant, sweet tangerine acidity that we love in the Bourbon variety from this terroir.

      Union San Pedro is our key partner in the Sierra Sur region of Mexico’s Oaxaca state, and this ethyl acetate decaffeinated version was made using the same base we featured in The Filter Blend. Thanks to this year’s bumper harvest, we’ve expanded our collaboration to include a larger community lot alongside our regular microlot purchases. With their cooperative-owned organic fertiliser facilities and focus on agroforestry, they produce remarkably consistent coffees, ideal for decaffeination.
