Ethiopia Natural Decaf | Swiss Water | Light Roast

  • Raspberry Tea, Bright, Clean Finish
  • Full Body, High Acidity
Producer: Worku Buche
Region: Oromia
Elevation: 5700-6400 ft
Process: Swiss Water Process, Natural

“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.

  • Medium Body, High Acidity
Region: Murang’a
Elevation: 5250 ft
Varietals: SL28, Ruiru 11
Process: Fully Washed

We are thrilled to bring you this delicious Kenya AA coffee. The big complex wine-like acidity and juicy fruit notes shined on the cupping table, and we just had to bring this beauty in. Here for a limited time, Kenya AA Nguvu is delicious on drip and for a real treat, exquisite on espresso.

AA is the highest grade for the best Kenya coffees, free of defects. Nguvu comes from smallholder cooperatives in the Murang’a region. Murang’a is considered the traditional home of the Kikuyu tribe, which currently makes up 22 percent of Kenya’s population. The area’s beautiful red, loamy soil and startlingly high altitudes contribute to a juicy, berry-forward cup. These coffees are typically grown between 1,350 and 1,800 masl. Very high-quality coffees often derive from small co-ops and may be auctioned as separate lots.

Guatemala | San Martin | Organic | Dark Roast

  • Medium Body, Low Acidity
Region: San Martin Jilotepeque
Elevation: 4,000 – 6,000 ft
Varietals: Bourbon, Caturra, Catuai, Pache

In March, Mocha Joe’s sent Sales Manager & Green Coffee Buyer Bill to Guatemala in search of a great new coffee for the 2024-25 season. Bill traveled around the country, met farmers, learned about their challenges and successes, and tasted some GREAT coffee. He came back with a classic smooth and chocolatey organic Guatemala coffee from San Martin Jilotepeque, a small coffee growing region nestled in the mountains north of Guatemala City. We tasted rich chocolate and nutty notes when dark roasted.

The small family farms from San Martin Jilotepeque organized under the Asproguate farmer’s association in 2014. Ninety-five percent of members are organic certified so Asproguate holds monthly workshops in organic fertilizers, fungicides, and insecticides so producers can make these essential products on their own farms. The farmers showed Bill how they make a fresh garlic infused organic pesticide that protects the coffee and the environment.

They also train on other agricultural practices like erosion mitigation and shade cover plus social program for women and children in the area. Fifty-five percent of producer members are women.

The coffee is sent to Dinamica Coffee in Guatemala City to be processed and sorted. State if the art mechanical sorters sift out defects and sort by size for an incredibly clean bean that you can taste in the cup.
