You asked, and we listened! One thing missing from our lineup of coffees was a decaf but no longer!
Decaf Coffee | Mountain Water Process
The Mountain Water Decaffeination Process 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 chemical-free. The decaffeination process removes roughly 99% of the coffee’s caffeine while preserving flavor the coffee’s original sensory profile. Read more about how specialty green coffee undergoes decaffeination on our blog.
This lot of Veracruz green coffee beans was sourced from small holders across the region. The coffee combines Tipica, Bourbon and Caturra varieties. Before undergoing decaffeination at the Descamex facility, it was washed and fully sundried.
Veracruz Green Coffee
Veracruz, nicknamed the “capital of coffee,” is the second-largest coffee-producing state in Mexico. The coastal city, located in the southeast along the Gulf of Mexico, was the gateway for coffee to disseminate throughout the country after the first plants arrived in Mexico in the 18th century from the Caribbean.
With an elevation of 1,200-1,600masl, Veracruz is well-suited for Arabica coffee production. The coffe-growing region boasts a warm, semi-humid climate with average rainfall of 2,141mm of rain annually.

🔥Roaster’s Notes:🔥
“Light-bodied chocolaty goodness with Hints of Orange!”
This full – flavored wonder from Veracruz, Mexico is decaffeinated via the Mountain Water decaf process using zero chemicals.
Colombian coffees are well known for their flexibility in the roaster. While different roast depths will favor certain brewing methods, as with any origin, Colombian coffees don’t favor a specific roast. For this reason, we will be offering two fairly wide – spaced roasts: A Medium Light and a Medium Dark.
☕️ Brewing Suggestions: ☕️
As with any other of our coffees, the dark roast will be optimal for Espresso machines and other devices engineered to mimic the espresso extraction process. Moka pot brewing will also have more favorable cups when using darker roasts.
Medium roasts, on the other hand will be more suitable for pour-over, French press, and (though we generally try to talk people out of it) drip coffee machines.
🍊 Citrus Zest & Juicy Plum: Immerse yourself in the vibrant flavors of sun-kissed oranges and succulent plums, expertly balanced within every cup of our Mexico Vera Cruz Decaf Altura. The bright acidity of citrus zest pairs elegantly with the sweet juiciness of plum, creating a symphony of flavor that awakens your senses and leaves you craving more.

Mexican Coffee
Half a million coffee growers in Mexico depend on coffee for their livelihoods. One can find coffee intercropped with citrus, corn, banana, and other produce for home consumption. Most farmers in Mexico are smallholders with less than 10 hectares.
In the 2010s, Mexico’s coffee farms were devastated by leaf rust. Fortunately, the coffee industry and the Mexican government rallied to support Mexico’s coffee farmers. Importers invested and provided technical support in the field and the Mexican government initiated a national program to renew coffee plantations. By the 2017/18 harvest, over 15% of Chiapas and 35% of Veracruz were replanted with rust resistant varieties. Mexican coffee production has since rebounded. The USDA forecasts 4.1 million 60kg bags for the 23/24 crop.
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.
Naturally Grown
🌱 While not “certified organic” this, and many other Mexican canopy – grown coffees are free of chemicals, pesticides and other industrial chemicals. Many of the smallholder farmers in this and other Mexican regions are unable to afford the expensive and lengthy process of becoming USDA certified organic, thus they must rely on in – person visits from distributor representatives and brokers that travel to see the growing operation first hand.
