Coffee Description
This is the full natural raised bed dried coffee from Gigesa Guji. Swiss Water Decaf process!
Nestled in the high-altitude Odo Shakisso district, at elevations of 1,800 meters and above, Suke Quto thrives in nutrient-rich volcanic soil, enhanced through meticulous organic composting. The mill’s water management system utilizes dedicated lagoons for responsible wastewater treatment, while Bekele remains deeply committed to community development—including the construction of a new school building in a neighboring village.
Swiss Water believes that coffee drinkers deserve a choice in how their coffee is decaffeinated. The proprietary Swiss Water® Process gently removes caffeine using only water containing the soluble solids that naturally occur in green coffee—and never introduces chemical solvent residuals. The result is a high-quality process that preserves the unique origin flavors, taste, and characteristics of the coffee. Swiss Water maintains the sustainability of your supply chain, and is the only decaffeination company focused exclusively on a chemical-free process.
