The Origin
The Crowd Pleaser Decaf coffee from Revolution coffee roasters originates from the Kigeme region of Rwanda.
The Kigeme Coffee Washing Station (CWS), is located near the village of Munombe in Nyamagabe district, in Rwanda’s Southern province.
The region is very mountainous, with altitudes ranging up to 2,100masl.
It is also rich in volcanic soil, supplied by the nearby Lake Kiuva which caps a volcano that erupts approximately every 1,000 years.
The Washing Station receives coffee cherries from around 1,300 smallholder farmers in the region. To strengthen the sustainability of the supply chain, farmers are supported with healthcare, training in Good Agricultural Practices to improve quality and yield, as well as other resources such as fertiliser.
The double fermentation starts from ripe hand picked cherries, 12-18 hours dry fermentation followed by a wet anaerobic fermentation of 24-36 hours, before being pulped, fully washed and bed dried for 12-18 days, this coffee takes some special care and attention, and gets rewarded with an SCA score of 84.75pts.
The Carbon Dioxide decaffeination process uses compressed carbon dioxide in water to attract and then remove caffeine from green coffee.
Because this process only uses carbon dioxide, water, and charcoal filtering technology, it is a completely chemical free process. Carbon Dioxide also selectively attracts caffeine while leaving the proteins and carbohydrates that contribute to flavour untouched.
