Decaffeinated - Shakisso 2022/23, Ethiopia

Natural Liquid Carbon Dioxide Coffee
Decaffeination Process

This sophisticated decaffeination method ensures that the unique flavour notes - influenced by terroir and processing - are kept intact as far as possible.

The process: moistened green, unroasted coffee is saturated with pressurised, liquid carbon dioxide which draws out the caffeine. Thereafter, an evaporator is used to separate caffeine from the CO2, which can then be recycled for following decaffeination cycles. Once the desired caffeine level is attained (0.08% or less), the circulation of CO2 stops, leading to the drying of the coffee and, at last, it is ready for roasting.

Shakisso Farm, found in Oromia, Guji, has a rich legacy. The farm is known for producing coffees with classic and iconic Ethiopian profiles - hints florals, stone fruits and pronounced citrus.

In the pursuit of preserving these unique origin characteristics, the partnership with CR3-Kaffeeveredelung and their patented 'Natural Liquid Carbon Dioxide Coffee Decaffeination Process' is instrumental. This sophisticated decaffeination method ensures that the unique flavour notes influenced by terroir and processing are kept intact, as the beans' structural integrity remains unaltered, all while relying on entirely safe and natural components.
