Decaf Kenya Thiriku

The Nyeri region in Central Kenya is famed for its bright, fruity, and dynamic coffees, but producers have long been troubled by financial challenges as productivity decreases. Many smallholder producers have been forced to abandon their coffee crops in favor of other agricultural products due to exorbitant rates charged by lenders and widespread corruption throughout the supply chain. However, cooperatives like the 1000-member strong Thiriku group have began to reverse this trend in recent years. In partnership with Trabocca, a specialty coffee importer with a strong presence in East Africa, Thiriku members are now receiving higher prices for their high quality cherries. Under the guidance of Trabocca’s agronomists, productivity is rebounding and producing coffee has become more sustainable for farmers in the region. We’re excited to offer this complex and delicious decaf, with its vibrant acidity and depth of flavor, its truly a unique decaf coffee experience.

We treasure our relationships in the global coffee community and invest in projects at origin to support our partners in their commitment to environmental sustainability and social welfare. We also invest in reducing our day-to-day impact, through initiatives like energy-efficient Loring Smart Roasters to reduce carbon emissions per batch by 80%.
