When we set out to create our very first decaffeinated lot, we knew we wanted to approach it like we do everything: with intention.
Thus was born our Washed Qonjo Decaf, a careful blend of traceable washed coffees from our partners in Ethiopia.
In Amharic, Qonjo means “beautiful”. It is used as well to describe a lovely spring day on a coffee washing station, where the river roars just out of sight and the bright Ethiopian sun warms the top of your head.
Transported from Ethiopia through faraway ports and also New Jersey, this coffee is then trucked to British Colombia, where it is decaffeinated using the Swiss Water Process.
It’s not just a clever name. Our coffee is decaffeinated by soaking it in water through SWP’s proprietary process, eliminating 99.9% of its caffeine–but leaving the sunny, lovely flavor that lives up to its name.
