Coffee Info

Serene is a Rwandan specialty coffee decaffeinated using the natural sugarcane (Ethyl Acetate) process. Sourced from farmers across the Kibuya region, and exported by C.Dorman, an exported based out of Kenya.

The washed process highlights clarity and sweetness, while the sugarcane decaffeination method maintains the bean’s natural aroma and flavor integrity. Serene offers a clean, balanced cup that captures the zest of high-quality African coffee without the caffeine.

Farm / Producer Info

Sourced from producers in Kibuya, in western Rwanda; an area renowned for both alpine like vistas, and the numerous small islands of Lake Kivu. Farmers cultivate small plots using sustainable, traceable practices that preserve the environment and ensure long-term soil health.

Process Info

The Ethyl Acetate (sugarcane) decaffeination process uses natural EA derived from sugarcane, combined with pure mountain spring water. Beans are gently steamed to open pores, then rinsed repeatedly with EA to remove caffeine while preserving flavour. Once decaffeinated, they are dried to 10–12% humidity and sealed with a neutral natural wax. This careful process protects the bean structure and results in a naturally sweet, clean cup that reflects specialty coffee at its best.

Grind Info

Whole Bean
Just beans. Suitable for grinding at home to match your preferred brewing method and equipment.

Fine Espresso
Ground finer for commercial espresso machines that use higher pressure, larger baskets, and more consistent extraction systems.
Examples: La Marzocco, Victoria Arduino, ECM, Rocket

Home Espresso Grind
Ground slightly coarser to suit domestic espresso and bean-to-cup machines, which typically operate at lower pressure and flow rates.
Examples: De'Longhi, Sage, Philips, supermarket espresso machines.

Stove Top Grind
Slightly coarser than espresso, designed for moka pots and stove top brewers where pressure is lower than traditional espresso machines.
Examples: Bialetti and other stove top brewers.

AeroPress Grind
Medium-fine grind optimised for AeroPress.

Filter Grind
Medium grind designed for slower extraction methods that rely on gravity rather than pressure. Best suited for filter coffee brewers and drip machines.
Examples: Moccamaster, Melitta, V60 and batch brew systems.
