About This Coffee

This decaffeinated coffee originates from the Komodo region of Indonesia, grown by various smallholder farmers at elevations between 1,200 and 2,200 meters. The coffee consists of mixed varietals and is decaffeinated using the Swiss Water process, which removes caffeine through osmosis while preserving flavor compounds. It features tasting notes of dark chocolate, pecan, and dried fruits. The coffee is roasted to work well for both filter and espresso brewing methods, with a smooth and rounded profile and dried-fruit sweetness.

Ethica Coffee Roasters

Greg, who was born in Moscow and grew up in Israel, founded Ethica Coffee Roasters in 2019 in Toronto's Junction neighborhood, naming it after the philosopher Spinoza's exploration of inner freedom through aligning actions with reason. The roastery works with small Dutch Giesen roasters in a European roasting style, having moved production to a dedicated facility on Symes Road in April 2023 where a second Giesen was installed. Around five single origin varieties are available at any time, sourced from regions like Ethiopia, El Salvador, Colombia, Kenya, Yemen, and Panama through partners like green bean importer Orange Brown. The roasting philosophy aims to showcase terroir as much as possible, letting customers explore the flavor profile of each origin without interference. Ethica gained particular attention in the specialty community for their exceptional Yemeni Haraaz Red coffee. The international team also runs the Ethica Coffee School, offering courses in specialty coffee, barista skills, and alternative brewing, with roasting courses in development.
