The story

Our first decaf, and we weren't going to ship one that tastes like a compromise. This is Ethiopia Guji, Godina — heirloom varietals grown at 1,700–2,100 masl, decaffeinated by Swiss Water, so it's water only, no chemicals, and the cup stays intact. Which is the point: apple, apricot, fruit tea, and a little spice, the kind of Ethiopian coffee you'd reach for with the caffeine still in it. Brew it like one too — pour-over or auto drip, 1:16, about six minutes. Decaf you'd actually choose.

What we got

Here's what we taste.

This is what the cup reminds us of — you might get something else, and that's the fun of it. Here's where it lands on the wheel.

Why it tastes like this

Two processes, one bag.

This one blends lots processed both ways, which is why it reads sweeter than a washed coffee without going full fruit.

  • This coffee

    Washed

    The fruit is stripped off within hours, and the seed ferments in water before drying bare.

    Clean and transparent. You taste the place it grew and the varietal, not the fruit it came in — so acidity reads sharper and the cup is easier to pick apart.

  • Honey

    The skin comes off but the sticky layer underneath stays on through drying.

    The middle ground, and the one people guess wrong. Rounder and sweeter than washed, without the fermented edge a natural can take on.

  • This coffee

    Natural

    The whole cherry dries with the seed still inside it, fruit and all, for weeks.

    Heavier, sweeter, unmistakably fruity — berries and jam. It's the loudest of the three, and where funk comes from when a coffee tastes wild.

Three ways

The same beans, a different cup.

We buy for versatility, so this isn't a bag that only works one way. Here's what changes when you brew it differently — and which of them we'd reach for.

  • We'd start here

    Pour-over

    Auto Drip

    Water passes through the bed once and drains away.

    The cleanest, most separated cup — acidity reads brightest and individual notes stay distinct. Also the fussiest: grind and pour speed both show up in the taste.

  • Immersion

    Hoffmann French Press

    Grounds sit in the full volume of water for the whole brew, then get separated at the end.

    Heavier body and more blended flavor — notes overlap rather than standing apart. Much harder to get wrong, which is why it's the forgiving one.

  • Espresso

    Espresso (Normale)

    Pressure forces a small amount of water through a tightly packed bed in seconds.

    Concentrated and syrupy. The same coffee reads sweeter and far more intense, and its sharper edges get louder along with everything else.

Where it's from

From Ethiopia.

Freshness

Fresh by design, not by accident.

Roasted to order

Small batches, roasted the week you order — never pulled off a warehouse shelf.

Out within the roast week

Off the cooling tray and into a box within days, so it lands near its peak.

Give it a week to rest

Coffee tastes best 1–4 weeks after roast — we date every bag. Why →
