Zoka Cupping Score: 87

For several years now we have been buying from this 1,000 hectare Organic farm (Jeff Babcock, Zoka Founder/CEO, visited in 2017). We were honored to be a Good Food Awards Finalist in November 2021 with another one of Kossa Geshe's coffees.  

Kossa Geshe was established in 2009, in the Kebena Forest, through a land grant from Ethiopia’s investment agency to protect some of the last remaining dense forest in the country. 

Ethiopia has a special relationship with coffee - it’s the birthplace of the coffee tree and the seventh largest coffee producing country in the world.  Coffee makes up about 40% of Ethiopia’s export market and nearly 15% of the population is employed by the coffee industry.

Amazing Decaf

Single origin decaf really raises the bar of what a complex cup of decaf can be.

Great decaf

I usually drink a darker roast but this coffee was hit the mark for flavor. Being a decaf drinker I usually don’t get the opportunity to drink a single origin coffee. This was a real treat. I had to return and buy it again.

Hi Jeff. So do we! Single Origin decafs, that meet our standards, are a bit hard to find. But we're always on the look out! We were thrilled to find this one from fantastic farm, Kossa Geshe.

I did not care for it. There was not much flavor and very weak even at the highest setting on my coffee maker

Oh bummer. We're sorry to hear this as we are excited to be able to offer a Single Origin decaf from an independent Farmer. But we understand all tastes are different. If you're looking for a decaf with a little more punch, we'd recommend our Tangletown Decaf or our Paladino Decaf.
