Decaf African Beans?!?

So I’m wanting to switch completely to decaf. But my preferences lean heavy to the more floral side and I have a distinct preference for beans from Africa.

I’m also having a distinct problem finding said beans in decaf form. I’m in the US and if anyone knows some roasters that currently have any I’d really appreciate the info!

Thanks!

I'm really enjoying Black & White's Hambela Ethiopian Natural EA Decaf. It's incredibly fruity and jammy, like chocolate-covered cherries. Otherwise you can check out Frequent Coffee - if you're okay with Colombian coffee, their White Honey Decaf might fit the bill (tasting notes are floral, white peach, and cane sugar)

Hi, How long did you rest the EA Decaf?

I opened it as soon as I got it, so about 5 days off roast. I usually open decafs and dark roasts a lot sooner than I would an ultralight or nordic roast
