About this coffee

This forest-grown decaf comes from Limu in western Ethiopia, a region known for producing coffees with natural sweetness, clarity, and depth. Grown at high altitude and naturally processed, this lot showcases everything people love about Ethiopian coffee.

Only ripe cherries are hand-picked before being dried slowly on raised beds for around 21 days, allowing sugars to develop and flavours to concentrate. Once dried, the coffee is gently decaffeinated using the sugarcane-derived EA method, which preserves body and complexity while naturally removing caffeine.

Expect juicy strawberry sweetness up front, bright satsuma citrus adding lift and freshness, and a soft cinnamon warmth on the finish. A rounded, buttery mouthfeel brings balance and structure, delivering a vibrant cup that proves decaf doesn’t need to compromise on flavour.

Producer

Kebena is a large-scale forest coffee producer based in the Limu region of Ethiopia, operating across more than 500 hectares of native forest. With a community of around 780 active pickers, the team is deeply committed to quality, sustainability, and long-term environmental protection. From the outset, Kebena has upheld a strict no-deforestation policy. When the farm was established 18 years ago, the owners declined a substantial offer to harvest the estate’s timber, choosing instead to preserve the forest canopy that defines Limu coffee. Today, old-growth trees, some over 100 feet tall, provide natural shade for the coffee, while wildlife such as monkeys and big cats continue to inhabit the land.

 

Perfectly Roasted

We practice omni roasting—a philosophy kind of like finding each coffee bean’s one true love in roast form!
This means every bean gets its perfect roasting match to highlight its unique quirks and flavours. Naturally decaffeinated beans, after their caffeine-free makeover, can be a bit sensitive and prone to over-roasting, so we steer clear of going too dark to keep their delightful tastes intact.

Why Decaf?

Gentler on the stomach, better sleep, suitable for pregnant woman, loaded with anti-oxidants and let’s be honest, all the great coffee taste with no caffeine crash.

So Why Craft Decaf?

  • Decaffeinated naturally at source which is more sustainable as less miles are travelled
  • We focus solely on decaf and we won’t send a bean we haven’t tried – your personal decaf experts
  • Direct farmer relationships ensuring your money ends up with our suppliers and not middle-men.
