The Story Behind This Coffee
This coffee comes from the Chiapas region of Mexico, and its story is closely tied to a traditional, gentle decaffeination method. Here it undergoes a unique water-based process that uses no chemical solvents whatsoever.
The beans are first steamed to release their aromatic compounds and caffeine. This extract is captured in water, which is then filtered to preserve the aroma while removing the caffeine. Subsequent batches of green beans are repeatedly soaked in this aromatic water. Thanks to natural osmosis, the caffeine gradually migrates into the water, while the rich flavor remains in the bean.
The process is repeated until the caffeine content drops to just 0.01–0.02%.
The result is a coffee that tastes full and authentic — simply without the caffeine.
Cultivation & Processing
The coffee grows at an altitude of around 1,000 meters in the mountainous areas of Chiapas, Mexico, where Arabica varieties thrive thanks to the rich soil and regular rainfall. Farmers here rely on traditional methods and place great emphasis on handpicking — each cherry is harvested at the moment of optimal ripeness.
After the harvest, which takes place from January to April, the coffee undergoes a washed process that highlights its clean and balanced flavor profile. The beans are then dried on open patios, where they are regularly turned to ensure even drying.
Exceptional Coffee with an Exceptional Score
The cupping score is a trusted method for evaluating the taste quality of coffee. To qualify as specialty grade, a coffee must score above 80 points.
Supermarket coffees usually score lower – often below 80 – and are produced in bulk with price and productivity in mind, not flavor.
A high cupping score is your shortcut to true coffee quality – even in a decaf.
Best Brewing Methods
Ideal for espresso, where its rich body and smooth sweetness come to life.
Also shines as pour-over or French press, especially when you're craving something comforting in the evening.
For best results, use a medium grind and fresh filtered water. Then just sit back and enjoy – caffeine not included.
