Context

Kurasu's decaffeinated offering showcases Ethiopia's Sidamo region, where heirloom varietals thrive in high-altitude conditions. This lot uses the Mountain Water Process, a gentle washed method designed to preserve delicate aromatics while removing caffeine. Washed coffees from Sidamo typically emphasize floral and fruit-forward characteristics; here, the roaster identifies peach and black cherry alongside citrus brightness and subtle caramel notes. Medium roasting strikes a balance, maintaining complexity while allowing the decaffeination process's inherent adjustments to the cup profile. This makes it suitable for those seeking Sidamo's characteristic elegance without caffeine—a notable achievement given decaffeination's technical demands on flavor retention.
