There is an important tradition of coffee growing in this region. The steep landscape makes cultivation hard work, but is also the reason for the outstanding cup quality. Until recently, coffee from this area was simply thrown into huge commercial blends and its distinctive qualities were literally lost in the mix. By acquiring, separating and cupping small lots individually, we've been able to determine the ugly, the not so bad, the good, and finally the outstanding. Here were bring you an outstanding decaf variety that we're sure will change your opinion on decaf forever!

Coffee from the Sierra Mazateca is transported to the Mountain Water decaf facility in Veracruz, north of the coffee producing regions we work with. For the processing, the station uses mineral water from Mexico’s highest peak, the Pico de Orizaba, or Citlaltépetl, a dormant volcano which sits at 5,636 MASL. The process is chemical-free, immersing the green beans in a high pressure filtration system which gradually removes the caffeine. Once complete, the beans are re-dried and packed for export.
