Decaf - Tokuma

This decaffeinated coffee comes from the Tokuma producer group, an initiative bringing together independent farmers from the Limu region, Jimma, who export their coffees directly, without intermediaries. The group's model is based on a direct trade approach where producers retain full ownership of their coffees, from drying to export.

Through Tokuma, we have the chance to work directly with several talented producers, including Mohammed Aba Nura, with whom we have been collaborating for three years, and Abdo Aba Mecha, whose coffee we introduced for the first time this year. The Tokuma group benefits from the support of Addis Exporter, which assists farmers in all stages from agronomic training to quality control, up to export logistics. This unique model promotes complete traceability and ensures that the income goes directly to the producers. We are working with Osito Coffee for the import of this lot. 

The Swiss Water process naturally removes caffeine using pure water, without chemicals. The green beans are first moistened, then soaked in hot water to extract the caffeine. This water is then filtered to remove the caffeine while retaining the aromatic compounds. The beans are then immersed in this aromatic solution. Since the solution already contains the same aromas as the bean, the taste compounds remain balanced and do not dissolve. The result is a decaffeinated coffee that retains all its richness and sweetness without compromising on quality or complexity.
