Full Cupping Notes
A good chunk of the coffee we used in this decaf were dry process, fruit-forward types that we had a feeling would come through in the final product. That hunch has certainly paid off in the cup! Right from the start, the ground coffee gives a good indication of what to expect. Stone fruit, honey, and tropical hints came through in our City roast, along with a subtle floral accent. The wet aroma offers up a sweet molasses note in the steam, with dried fruit and spice, aspects of spiced fruit cake. Getting into the cup, this decaf is super, and one for those who are after more than just bittersweetness. When roasted light, it has attractive acidity fruit flavors, and a sweet aftertaste. Brown sugar flavors offer a nice backdrop to the top notes that emerge from the background as the coffee cools. Fruit flavors are a little muted at first, but start to take form with each sip. We noted stone fruits like peach and nectarine, along with persimmon filling, and a complex spiced aroma that's a mix of clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, and chai. There are some 'decaf' flavors too, like bready pumpernickel and rye crisps, but they're not the top line, nor do they take away from the origin characteristics.

Origin & Farm Notes
Godina Guji is our latest custom Ethiopian decaf blend that we had processed by Swiss Water Decaf in Vancouver, Canada. What makes it, "custom", you might ask? Almost all of our decafs are pulled from our personal stocks of non-decaf coffees, giving us a unique level of quality control. This means we get to select coffees with flavors we've found will push through the decaffeination process, an ability we've gotten better at over the decade+ we've been working with Swiss. 2/3 of this blend is made up of fruit-forward, dry process coffees, a key ingredient of most of our Ethiopian decafs, and a big part of why they come back tasting so nice. In this case, Guji Godina has convincing origin flavors, fruity, aromatic, and recognizably "Ethiopian". This lot is mostly made up of coffees from Ethiopia's Guji Zone, with a very small portion coming from a station in neighboring Sidama. Most of it is from two stations where we've sourced excellent coffees through the years, and that should sound familiar to some, Gerba Doku and Harsu Wokilo. Swiss Water Decaf decaf use their patented chemical-free, water-decaffeination process to remove 99.9% of the coffee's caffeine content. The technique is gentle on the coffee's organic structure, leaving much of the aromatic compounds that affect flavor and aroma intact. Read more about the Swiss Water technique here.
