This gentle, chemical-free method of decaffeination is one of our favorites thanks to the flavor clarity that we find in the resulting coffee. Green coffee is first soaked in fresh glacial water from the Pico de Orizaba volcano. As the water temperature and pressure slowly increases, soluble compounds are extracted into the water. This solution then passes through a series of natural carbon filters to remove the caffeine. Finally, the green coffee is submerged back in the caffeine-free solution and allowed to reabsorb the soluble compounds (ie flavor). The coffee is then dried to a stable moisture content, packaged, and shipped to the US - 99% free of caffeine!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"1000 Faces Coffee","offers":[{"title":"10oz \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":45251262087327,"sku":"R004i","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10oz \/ Cold Brew","offer_id":45251262120095,"sku":"R004i","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10oz \/ Metal Filter","offer_id":45251262152863,"sku":"R004i","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10oz \/ French Press","offer_id":45251262185631,"sku":"R004i","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10oz \/ Aeropress","offer_id":45251262218399,"sku":"R004i","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10oz \/ K-cup","offer_id":45251262251167,"sku":"R004i","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10oz \/ Moka Pot","offer_id":45251262283935,"sku":"R004i","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10oz \/ Espresso","offer_id":45251262316703,"sku":"R004i","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10oz \/ Kalita Wave","offer_id":45251262349471,"sku":"R004i","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10oz \/ Hario V60","offer_id":45251262382239,"sku":"R004i","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10oz \/ Auto Drip","offer_id":45251262415007,"sku":"R004i","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10oz \/ Chemex","offer_id":45251262480543,"sku":"R004i","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5lb \/ Whole Bean","offer_id":45251262546079,"sku":"B004i","price":142.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5lb \/ Cold Brew","offer_id":45251262578847,"sku":"B004i","price":142.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5lb \/ Metal Filter","offer_id":45251262611615,"sku":"B004i","price":142.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5lb \/ French Press","offer_id":45251262644383,"sku":"B004i","price":142.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5lb \/ Aeropress","offer_id":45251262677151,"sku":"B004i","price":142.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5lb \/ K-cup","offer_id":45251262709919,"sku":"B004i","price":142.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5lb \/ Moka Pot","offer_id":45251262742687,"sku":"B004i","price":142.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5lb \/ Espresso","offer_id":45251262775455,"sku":"B004i","price":142.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5lb \/ Kalita Wave","offer_id":45251262808223,"sku":"B004i","price":142.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5lb \/ Hario V60","offer_id":45251262840991,"sku":"B004i","price":142.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5lb \/ Auto Drip","offer_id":45251262873759,"sku":"B004i","price":142.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5lb \/ Chemex","offer_id":45251262939295,"sku":"B004i","price":142.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0317\/3387\/4826\/files\/decaf-shop-1.png?v=1773632951"},{"product_id":"savio-1","title":"Savio","description":"\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eSavio is one of our core seasonal blends, named for the well-known activist and key member of the Free Speech Movement - Mario Savio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eThe components of Savio change multiple times throughout the year to embrace the freshest harvests available to our roasting team.  However, the flavor profile goal remains the same - chocolate driven with a focus on sweetness; accented by a lively acidity and soft fruit flavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eIn comparison to our other blends, Savio will always be the most fruit forward option.

We’ve been consistently purchasing from Suke Quto every season since 2013! Nestled in the highlands of the Odo Shakiso woreda, the Suke Quto Farm is a totally wild, organic treasure chest of regional landraces.  These old varieties, Kurume and Wolisho, were originally selected from the forest and have been propagated for decades throughout Gedeo and Guji.  Overseeing the entire operation is Tesfaye Bekele -  an agronomist, horticulture specialist, environmentalist, and visionary.  Check out \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.trabocca.com\/our-stories\/this-is-the-story-of-guji-coffee\/\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ethe story of Guji coffee\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eto learn more about Tesfaye’s pioneering role in establishing coffee production in the Guji region.   \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn 1998, a massive wildfire destroyed nearly 5,000 acres of land throughout Odo Shakiso and three other nearby woredas.  Out of a desire to preserve the forest and save it from transforming into a new mining operation, Tesfaye took it upon himself to distribute coffee and shade tree seedlings to a dedicated group of 170 outgrowers.  Together they were able to start regrowing the area of forest that surrounds the Suke Quto Farm.  With this, Tesfaye was able to accomplish his dream of developing environmentally friendly coffee and sustaining the local community with a reliable income.  The Suke Quto Farm is fully organic, with never any chemical fertilizer or pesticide use. The canopy cover from shade trees is nearly 60% - coffee plants here grow extremely tall and slow.  Tesfaye never ceases to inspire, with his focus on ecological conversation, clear desire to produce high quality coffee, and deep philosophical wisdom.  In his words: “We are not only buying the coffee.  We are protecting the forest and buying the nature”.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSuke Quto Farm and processing station both exhibit an extreme attention to detail, and the results are stunning each season.  A clean mouthfeel allows soft floral and ripe fruit flavors to shine - think orange blossom, dried apricot, and nectarine.  Meanwhile, a lingering dark honey and vanilla sweetness balances out the flavors, transforming them into a silky citrus marmalade.  It’s a perfect representation of coffee from the Guji region, and a beautiful gateway into the more fruit-forward, complex coffees we purchase from Ethiopia.

The potential for impacting the overall economic well-being of the country is possible via coffee, but it must be optimized for that purpose.  First and foremost, we believe that the profits must go to locals rather than major multinationals; and secondly, quality and prices must continue to increase.  \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe’re excited to be working with Baho Coffee for these very reasons.  Emmanuel is one of a very small group of Rwandese people who are exporting their own coffee; this means that profits are remaining within the country and are being reinvested back into people.
