Origin and Processing

It grows in Frailesca, Chiapas, Mexico, in a region influenced by the Sierra Madre de Chiapas and the microclimates around the El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve. The farms sit between 1,200 and 1,800 m.a.s.l., in an environment where biodiversity and polyculture systems are an important part of coffee production.

This coffee is decaffeinated using the Mountain Water Process, which uses pure water from Pico de Orizaba to remove up to 99% of the caffeine without aggressive chemical solvents. The result is a clean, sweet, and expressive decaf, ideal for those who want to reduce caffeine without giving up flavor.
