Soft berry sweetness, the same note that leads our caffeinated Sidamo.

Citrus

A gentle citrus brightness that keeps the cup from feeling flat.

Floral

A quiet floral note on the finish.

THE ORIGIN

From Sidamo, Ethiopia

This is our Ethiopia Sidamo with the caffeine taken out. It comes from the same southern Ethiopian highlands, a region known for bright, fruit-forward coffee rather than heavy, roast-driven cups.

The caffeine is removed by the Swiss Water Process, which uses only water, temperature and time, with no conventional chemical solvents. Because the method is gentle, the berry, citrus and floral character of the original coffee largely survives it. Certified USDA Organic and Fairtrade, roasted in California and shipped whole bean.

Reviews

Love this coffee

"I've been ordering this coffee for a year or more. Always tastes fresh and sweet. It's the first thing I drink in the morning. I love that it's ground upon my order. Can't get more fresh than that. !"

"Good"

This decaf tops the heap

"This Ethiopian Sidamo decaf just keeps on impressing me. It pairs well and adds sweetness and creaminess to every other bean I've used it with and it is so easy on my system. I've adopted the policy of always having a bag to hand. Not surprisingly, pairing it with the same beans, not caffinated, is one of my favorites overall too. I definitely recommend giving it try."

— Arthur M. (5/5)

Fabulous

Sumatra Decaf - My Go To

"I already had an organic decaf that I swore by. Twiga's Decaf Sidamo has dethroned it. I have used with medium, medium-dark, and dark roasts and across all of them the Sidamo Decaf took the espressos I was producing to another level of rich smoothness, complimenting every one of them, from medium Kenya to dark Guatemala. Really wonderful taste. Now this is in almond milk cappuccinos, but still these effects come through, on a modest espresso machine! I highly recommend it!"

— Arthur M. (5/5)

MY NEW FAVORITE COFFEE

"This is sooo good! I wake up happy for my coffee every morning."

— Allyson N. (5/5)

Excellent Coffee!!

"This is my ""go-to"" Decaf. I'm on my 4th bag of beans. Taste is so balanced! Not a touch of acidity. I fill my little Keurig individual containers and it works fine in the Keurig. It has a slightly sweet underbelly of flavor which is so gentle. I love that it's roasted a few days before it's sent to me! Thank you Twiga!!"

— Laura D. (5/5)

The best organic decaf I’ve had!

"I’ve tried many organic Swiss water beans, and this is by far the best. It’s an extra feel good to know they give back."

— Victoria T. (5/5)

Enjoyable and forgiving Ethiopian Decaf

"Looking for a Decaf fruit forward afternoon Decaf, and found it. While Ethiopian coffees can be a challenge to dial in, add in Decaf and 😳. Treat this as a dark roast ristretto and you can have a fruit forward espresso anytime of the day"

— George C. (5/5)

Q&A

GOOD TO KNOW

Frequently asked questions

Is Twiga coffee whole bean or ground?

Whole bean. Every Twiga coffee ships as whole bean so the aromatics stay locked in until you grind. Grind just before you brew for the best cup.

How does the subscription work?

Choose Subscribe & Save at checkout and pick a delivery rhythm: every week, 2, 4, 8 or 16 weeks. You save 10% on every delivery, and you can skip, pause or cancel at any time from your account.

How does my purchase support wildlife conservation?

10% of proceeds donated to wildlife conservation. We partner with the Giraffe Conservation Foundation, the Hirola Conservation Program and the Somali Giraffe Project.

What is the Swiss Water Process?

It is a way of removing caffeine using only water, temperature and time, with no conventional chemical solvents. Because it is a gentle process, the coffee keeps far more of its own character than harsher methods allow, which is why this cup still tastes like Sidamo. Swiss Water is a decaffeination process rather than a certification.

Does the decaf taste different from the regular Sidamo?

It is close. You get the same berry, citrus and floral profile, usually a shade softer in the cup. If you already drink our Sidamo and want it in the evening, this is the one.

Is decaf completely caffeine free?

No decaffeinated coffee is entirely caffeine free. A small residual amount always remains, whichever method is used. If you are avoiding caffeine for medical reasons, it is worth knowing that.
