Farm: Various smallholder farms

Grown at: 750 - 1,100 masl

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.

Our Story

After meeting in 2014 on a trail run outside of Harrisonburg, VA, Jose and David quickly learned they both shared a love for coffee and enjoyed the challenge of sourcing green coffee from countries far away and roasting it for their friends and family. After kicking around the idea for a few years, they took the plunge and set out on an adventure of starting Chestnut Ridge Coffee Roasters.

OUR COFFEE

Every coffee has a story to tell. Tales from the high mountains in which they were grown, the hard working hands that harvested it, and the mills that processed it. We take great pride in being one tiny step in our coffees’ long journey to your cup. Our goal is to roast each bean to tell the tale of its adventure.

Come see us tomorrow and Sunday at our new location. This is a sneak peek of what’s to come next week for our official opening. We will be here to serve you a full coffee menu from 9 to 3 at our new location in @libertyst_mercantile next to @ma
