DECAF

Region: Risaralda
Producer: Regional farmers
Altitude: 1400-2000 meters above sea level
Variety: Castillo, Variedad Colombia, Caturra
Process: Washed Sugarcane Decaf
Roast level: Medium roast (Espresso)
SCA Score: 82.75 points
The Risaralda Decaf is a blend of coffees from the regions of Asocafe Tatama Santuario, El Aguila, and Entreverdes. A regional blend created by our partner "Raw Material" means we can maximise the impact for producers across the department of Risaralda, by bringing much larger volumes of their coffee to the specialty market.
Sugarcane decaffeination is often termed as a natural process decaf. Ethyl Acetate is an organically existing compound (C4H8O2) and by-product found most commonly in the fermentation of fruits, and is present in both ripe bananas and beer for example.
This process begins with steaming of the coffee, increasing its porosity, beginning the hydrolysis of caffeine, which is usually bonded to salts and chlorogenic acid in the bean. The beans are then submerged in an ethyl acetate solvent, until 97% of the caffeine is removed. A final steam is then used to lift residual traces of the compound.

Awaiting the winter solstice, KALVE wishes to highlight and honor our Latvian traditions - Ķekatas or Mummery. In our view, Ķekatas were and still are a magical and important ritual for Latvian identity, bringing goodness, joy, and fertility.
The motif of ĶEKATAS coffee is warmly wrapped in motif of Anna Eltermane's tapestry "Ķekatas in My Childhood Days" (1982, DMDM collection), where, shimmering like stars in the dark winter sky, in a night vision from house to house, in a dynamic rhythm, goat, rooster, sheep, bear, and stork disguised as ķekatnieki, set out to bring blessings and drive away evil spirits.
Anna Eltermane (1929–2009) grew up in Rucava, a region with ancient and strong traditions of folk craftsmanship, labor, and seasonal customs. The artist acquired weaving skills at the Liepāja School of Applied Arts. She continued her education at the Latvian Academy of Arts, where she explored the world of black and white graphics but later turned to theatrical painting and set design. After completing her studies, she returned to Liepāja and resumed weaving, drawing inspiration from nature and folklore motifs. In her tapestries, the splendor of meadow flowers, rural everyday life, and festive events come to life, including ancient solstice rituals.

Mustefa Abakeno, a dedicated smallholder farmer in the picturesque Jimma Zone of Western Ethiopia, manages an extensive 18-hectare farm. His farm is a testament to the rich coffee heritage of Ethiopia, featuring a diverse array of coffee varieties sourced from the esteemed Jimma research center. Mustefa's processing methods seamlessly blend traditional techniques with innovative practices, resulting in exceptional coffee beans that honor Ethiopia's esteemed coffee culture.
At the beginning of his endeavour, Mustefa purchased a three-discs Coffee Pulper to process half of his harvest using the Fully Washed method. However, due to water scarcity and limited fermentation space, he adapted his approach. The pulped coffee underwent a brief eight-hour fermentation process before being skillfully transferred to drying beds, until reaching the optimal moisture content. This process creates a wonderfull complexity, that compliments the traditional profile of Ethiopian coffee.

Producer: Diego Baraona
Altitude: 1400 meters above sea level
Variety: Elite Bourbon
Process: Washed
Roast level: Light roast
SCA Score: 85.00 points
Los Pirineos farm is operated by fifth-generation coffee producer Diego Baraona. Diego works to carry on a tradition and legacy built on more than 130 years of his family’s experience, history, and knowledge in coffee cultivation.
The farm sits at 1,400 meters above sea level on the slopes of a standalone volcano. This unique positioning provides a microclimate unlike any other, with sun-filled days and cool breezes that create an environment ideal for coffee production, processing, and drying.
This coffee is named “Elite,” a tribute to the 90-year-old Bourbon trees on Diego’s farm—a name given by his father to honor their heritage. This particular Bourbon lot underwent a washed processing method. After being freshly harvested, the cherries were pulped using water to remove the fruit from the parchment layer. The washed beans were then spread over shaded, raised beds, where they dried for 45 days until reaching their optimal humidity level.

Kevenka Coffees is a specialty coffee processor founded by two entrepreneur brothers, Kevin and Kenny Soewondo, from Surubaya in East Java. They initially entered the coffee industry by opening a cafe in their city, but over time began processing coffee sourced from local farms. Mount Ijen is located in East Java, approximately 3.5 hours’ drive from Bali, and is an active volcano in the province. Kevenka Coffees works with five areas on Mount Ijen, sourcing cherries from up to 500 different farms. All coffee is then delivered to their processing center in Botolinggo Village.
After harvesting, coffee cherries are washed, density-sorted, and color-sorted to remove defects. Anaerobic fermentation takes place in a tank for two days, with temperature and pH levels monitored. Then the cherries are dried for 11-13 days to reach the required moisture level. The dried cherries are hulled and sorted, and after final quality control, the coffee is ready for export.
The sweet, fruity profile of this Ethiopian coffee is a classic representation of one of the country's most recognized coffee-producing areas - Beshasha. It is a washed process Ethiopian Heirloom, grown by the smallholder farmers who characterize the coffee production landscape of Ethiopia. Beshasha encompasses many terroirs, but farming across the region is traditionally low input and the outstanding attributes of the plants and the land are captured in every harvest.

Origin: Peru
Region: Huabal
Producer: Regional farmers

Variety: Caturra, Catuai, Catimor
Process: Washed
Roast level: Light roast
SCA Score: 84.00 points
Huabal is a district within the Jaen province of Cajamarca and has significant potential to produce high-quality coffee. Spanning multiple mountain ranges, Huabal features considerable variation in climate and soil composition. Some areas experience wet, humid conditions with red, African-like soils, while others are drier and hotter. This diversity contributes to complex and distinctive cup profiles.
This lot is a blend from multiple producers in the district of Huabal, where the average farm size is approximately 1.5 hectares. Producers in this area harvest and process their coffee independently, typically drying it on lined patios. After harvesting, the coffee rests for 24 hours before being depulped and fermented for 36 hours. It is then dried for 10 to 15 days until it reaches the ideal humidity level.

SCA Score: 83.00 points
This coffee comes from a very small, 1.1 hectare, family-owned farm located in the Fagundes Community in Santo Antonio do Amparo. The producers are members of the Fagundes Community Association, which was founded to strengthen local growers and support coffee production in the area.
This is our third time buying from Arlindo’s family, and this year we exclusively purchased their entire harvest - 11 bags. From the moment we first shook hands, we made a promise to each other: as long as the Arlindos continue to grow coffee, KALVE will continue to buy from them in support of the outstanding quality they produce.
The cherries were handpicked, carefully sorted and spread evenly for drying, skipping the wet mill. Because there is no contact with water, the coffee avoids the development of unwanted fermented flavors. Instead, it produces a clean profile with rich chocolate and nut notes, complemented by mild acidity. Once the beans reach the final stage of drying, the dried cherry is removed, and the beans are cleaned and sent to our partner cooperative Sancoffee for quality assurance and final processing before export.

Region: Campo das Vertentes
Producer: Henrique Dias Cambraia
Altitude: 1100 meters above sea level
Variety: Yellow bourbon
Process: Anaerobic Natural
Roast level: Light roast
SCA Score: 85.00 points
Synonymous of tradition, Fazenda Samambaia has been the heritage of the Cambraia family for over a hundred years, dating back to the early stages of coffee growing at Campo das Vertentes, in Minas Gerais State. As a fourth-generation coffee grower, Henrique has overcome many challenges. When travelling abroad, he realized that Brazilian coffees were not on the shelves of international coffee shops and this fact drew his attention to the emerging specialty coffee market. Very soon, Henrique started focusing on high quality coffees and joined forces with other producers in Campo das Vertentes, to found Sancoffee - a cooperative dedicated to directly exporting their specialty coffees.
Nowadays, in addition to remarkable coffees, Fazenda Samambaia places great importance in social and environmental responsibility, investing in training for the team, innovating in farming and post-harvest practices to assure the sustainability of the coffee business, inspiring future generations.
This lot undergoes anaerobic fermentation. The process takes place in plastic barrels sealed airtight with a valve to control gas exchange, and it may begin in an aerobic environment until microorganisms consume the available oxygen. Over approximately five days, the temperature of the coffee mass and pH levels are monitored as key indicators of the fermentation rate. Once fermentation is complete, the cherries are transferred to raised beds to undergo the drying process until the coffee reaches the ideal moisture level.

SCA Score: 84.00 points
Synonymous with innovation and growth, Fazenda Sao Paulo has played a vital role in shaping the coffee industry in the Campo das Vertentes region, Minas Gerais. Established in the early 1980s as an agribusiness investment, the farm has grown into a beacon of development, providing work for hundreds of families and fostering progress in the local community. Coffee farming began modestly on the farm, but with dedication and passion, it has expanded to cover 800 hectares, becoming one of the group’s most prominent activities. At Fazenda Sao Paulo, sustainability didn’t start with a strategy or certification. It started with a belief that it’s possible to run a large, productive farm while still respecting the land, the animals, and the people who make it all happen.
For this lot, the cherries are harvested mostly by machines, which are adjusted to pick as many of the ripe cherries as possible. After harvest, they are immediately forwarded to paved drying patios, skipping the wet mill. Because there is no contact with water, this method helps prevent the development of unwanted ''fermented'' flavors. In the patios, the beans are spread out in extremely thin layers, almost “bean by bean”, without overlapping. This increases the exposure to the sunlight and therefore speeds up the drying process. Once the beans reach the final stage of drying, they are moved to mechanical rotating dryers that replicate patio conditions in a fully controlled environment. Temperatures are electronically preset at around 35-40°C, allowing for a consistent drying curve and therefore bringing more uniformity to the lot in terms of moisture content.
