ABOUT THIS COFFEE
Our Doka Estate Laurina microlot was chosen for its unique varietal. La Laurina is exceptional because it is a naturally occurring low-caffeinated coffee. The Laurina varietal was first discovered in the 18th century in Africa. While the Laurina varietal spread to other regions, growing it was famously difficult. Its lack of caffeine - a natural pesticide for coffee plants - made Laurina more susceptible to insect damage.
The Laurina varietal was on the brink of extinction, but in recent years it has had a resurgence in popularity. The fact that Laurina is a unique alternative to decaffeinated coffee - and produces an elegant cup profile - has captured the attention of roasters across the U.S.
