Kofeiiniton Etiopia Suke Quto

The Guji growing region really comes through — it's got that soft berry sweetness without any of the flat, cardboard taste I usually get from decaf. I've been drinking it black all week and it holds up.

I was skeptical that a decaf could taste this alive, but the Guji beans hold up with a syrupy body and a bright berry finish. Brewed it in a pour-over and it stayed sweet through the whole cup without any of that flat, cardboardy aftertaste.

The story behind this one—a farmer rebuilding his land after wildfires—made me feel good about the purchase, and the coffee itself didn't disappoint. It's a gentle, comforting cup that drinks easy without any harsh bite, perfect for a slow afternoon.
