Decaffeination Process: Mountain Water Process
The decaffeination process for this coffee takes place at Descamex, a facility situated in Mexico. Here, green coffee undergoes immersion in a water solution to eliminate caffeine along with other soluble components, including flavor compounds. Through a specialized filtering system, the caffeine molecules are separated and captured from the solution, leaving behind a flavor-rich liquid free from caffeine. This treated solution is then reintroduced to the green coffee beans, enabling them to reabsorb the flavorful compounds. Following this step, the coffee is dried once more.
This coffee does well with any brew method, including espresso.
