The latest Half Caff has arrived! Combining Decaf Telila from Ethiopia, with Square Mile newcomer, Guatemalan Los Arcos, this tasty belnd gives you the opportunity to personalise your caffeine intake.

Welcoming Telila, but decaf! This latest Ethiopian coffee features the peachy notes of the Jimma zone favourite and the caramel sweetness of the Ethyl Acetate decaf process. We selected coffees from our main Ethiopian partner, Telila Washing Station, for this Coffein Compagnie decaffeination. In last year’s harvest, the flavours we found in the crop were expressive and balanced—ideal for a mid-year decaf. By committing to 60% of the decaf lot, we brought this project to life with our import partner, Osito Coffee. These lots from the Genji Challa and Kolla kebeles maintain the style and quality of our Red Brick and single-origin Ethiopian selections, now caffeine-free.

Complimenting Telila with delicate floral notes is Los Arcos! Produced in Jalapa by Osmin Garcia, he’s a third generation coffee producer. Interested in overseeing more coffee processing, Garcia recently expanded his business to include a wet mill and hopes to experiment with honey and natural processes. For this lot however, the pickers selected only the ripest cherries and removed any greens before processing. Once de-pulped, the coffee was fermented for roughly 36 hours, thoroughly washed and dried on a patio for 4-5 days in the sun.
