“…Shyira, the highest altitude washing station in Rwanda. This high altitude is beneficial, because the altitude at which coffee trees grow tends to lead to higher quality in the cup.”

“Shyira is located at the foothills of the famous Virunga National Park. The national park is a chain of volcanoes and the habitat for mountain gorillas. Shyira is the highest altitude washing station in Rwanda at 1850m (6070 ft) above sea level. The temperate weather, high altitude, and volcanic soil give the station a microclimate perfect for growing specialty coffee. The coffee from this station has a distinctive taste profile from other locations in Rwanda. Shyira is unique in that it services 1869 small-holder farmers throughout the harvest. For a small station, this is a lot! Farmers bring their best cherry throughout the season, sometimes bringing only one pound. Higa is working with farmers to create incentives for them to continually produce exceptional specialty coffee and build long-term relationships with farming communities.”

Decaf Light Ethiopia Natural Swiss Water Light Roast

  • Full Body, High Acidity

“This might be the best decaf I’ve ever tasted,” said one of our roasters as we cupped this coffee. High praise, but we think it lives up to it!  The flavor is so bright and sunny, you may not even miss the caffeine.

Swiss Water Process is a chemical free process. The green coffee is pre-soaked in pure, hot water to create a solution, which is passed through activated charcoal filters that extract the caffeine without extracting the coffee’s particular flavor.
