OTHER INFO
Decaf Mexico Altura HG EP Royal Select Water Process is curated from lots that the Royal team has selected based on cup profile, physical preparation, and potential to express excellently once decaffeinated. During the water process, the green coffee is pre-soaked in water to expand the beans for caffeine extraction. The hydrated green coffee is then introduced to a unique solution of concentrated coffee solubles that draw out the caffeine while minimizing the loss of flavor compounds. Once the caffeine has been removed the green coffee is re-dried and re-bagged for transport, and the extract solution is filtered of its caffeine and recycled to be used again.

FARM INFO
This is a smallholder-grown coffee processed by Fahem General Trading PLC, an independent specialty exporter operating in Limu Seka, a small agricultural area at the top of the Jimma zone.
Jimma is a broad, sloping plateau of indescribable fertility and drastically high elevations. The best coffees of Jimma, from the Limu, Gera and Goma districts in particular, are known for being snappy with sweet and delicate fruit flavors. The area’s “white” honey, foraged by beads from coffee and forest blossoms, is another famous Jimma icon, and an utter sensory delight. Coffees from the zone, along with those from neighboring Illubabor, are commonly referred to as “Limu”, which is not a geographical indicator itself but more of a terroir distinction encapsulating common cup profiles from this part of the country.
Ato Mohamed Lalo is the founder of Fahem General Trading PLC and is very involved in Ethiopia’s specialty industry, along with his wife, who co-runs the couple’s private coffee estate in Limu Seka.
Fully washed coffee is produced by intaking cherry from registered smallholders daily at Fahem’s collection sites in the area. The coffee is depulped and fermented underwater for 12 hours, then soaked in fresh water for another 12 hours, and finally washed and spread across raised screen beds to dry.
Fahem consists of over 500 staff during harvest months, including all farm work, certification, training for farmers, marketing for their international sales (and local roasted brand), and apiary management. A portion of the company’s profit is annually reinvested in the local community, including schools, grain mills, pruning tools for smallholders, a local bridge, and expanding the national electric grid.

FARM INFO
Worka is a large municipality in the Gedeb district of the Gedeo zone. Nearly all of Gedeb is known for its gifted processing climate and experienced growers. Washed and natural coffees alike from this area tend to be dense and fruit-forward, ranging from sparkling clean acidic fruits, to jammy or herbal concentrated sweetness. Worka is one the oldest and largest individual cooperatives that make up the storied Yirgacheffe Coffee Farmers Cooperative Union.
Gedeb and Its Coffee
Gedeo zone is a narrow section of Ethiopia’s southern highland plateau dense with savvy farmers, a famous terrier, and high competition for cherry. Gedeo as a whole is frequently referred to as “Yirgacheffe”, after the zone’s most famous central district. Gedeb, however, is a terroir, history, and community all its own. Coffees from this district are often the most explosive cup profiles we can see anywhere in Ethiopia. Naturals tend to have perfume-like volatiles.
Worka Cooperative and Processing
Work was established in 2006 with 210 member farms; today there are over 1,400 farmers spanning 2,500 hectares of coffee production. These are quintessential Gedeo family farms: small and forested.
Naturals at the coop are received as fresh picked cherry from member farmers throughout the day. Cherry is hand-sorted to find the ripest, most dense and consistent portions which are moved to raised beds to dry in the sun, a process that takes typically 21 days. During this time, the cherry is continuously rotated to keep airflow consistent and prevent moisture buildup between the fruit. Drying beds are covered at night to prevent humidity from settling on the coffee, as well as during the mid-day hours to prevent sunburn and uneven dehydration. When drying is fully complete, coffee is milled to remove the dried fruit husks and conditioned in local warehouses, until it is trucked north to Addis Ababa for final milling and preparation for export.
