SELECCIÓN DE MÉXICO DECAF - Regular Roast, Decaf, Mountain Water Processed

Another winning decaf from our Mexican neighbors!  We have so many people ask for whole bean decaf that they like.  Here it is!!!

*Note that decaf coffee appears darker in color when medium roasted than a typical medium roast coffee due to it's washing and drying to get the caffeine out.

About This Coffee:

Coffee growers in Mexico are primarily smallholders, with 70% of the industry made up of producers with less than 10 hectares of land. In 2015, the Mexican government initiated a national program to renew coffee plantations with new leaf-rust-resistant varietals. Half a million coffee growers in Mexico depend on coffee for their livelihoods. To maximize sustainable coffee production, plants are intercropped with citrus, corn, banana, and other produce for home consumption.

Mexico coffees are celebrated for their balanced sweetness and round chocolate and toffee notes. Today, many Mexican coffees are shade grown under forest canopies. This critical step helps to conserve biodiversity and reduces the need for conventional fertilizers and pesticides.

The Mountain Water Process for decaf green coffee beans is trademarked to the Descamex facility in Mexico. As a popular natural method for decaffeination, the Mountain Water Process uses pure water as an extraction solution, separating the caffeine compounds from the unroasted green coffee. Mountain Water decaf process green coffee is entirely chemical-free, which means the decaffeination process can preserve flavor with minor alteration to the coffee's original sensory profile.
