Brandywine Coffee Roasters

Ethiopia - Decaf UVVW - Natural

This Ethiopian Sidama comes from Heirloom varietals grown at 1,750–1,950 meters in the highlands, where cherries are traditionally dried for 16–19 days on raised beds. The coffee undergoes the UVVW (Ultra Violet Water Wash) decaffeination process—a chemical-free method using only water and UV light—which preserves the origin's inherent character better than conventional decaf techniques. The cup delivers apple juice, toasted almond, and honeysuckle notes with berry sweetness and chocolate undertones that evolve as it cools. This is genuinely good coffee chosen for decaf processing, not commodity beans, making it a rare exception to the decaf rule—complex, clean, and worth drinking in the evening without compromise.
