Description
Discover the artistry of Mexican coffee with our Veracruz Mountain Water Decaf Altura. This exceptional brew showcases the best of Veracruz's coffee heritage while catering to those who love coffee but prefer to avoid caffeine.
Sourced from various smallholders across Veracruz, this coffee is a blend of Tipica, Bourbon, and Caturra varieties. These beans are cultivated at an altitude of 1,200 meters above sea level, where the region's unique microclimate and rich volcanic soils contribute to their distinct flavor profile.
What sets this coffee apart is its decaffeination process. The Mountain Water Process, trademarked to the Descamex facility in Mexico, uses pure water as an extraction solution to separate caffeine compounds from the unroasted green coffee. This natural method removes approximately 99% of the caffeine while preserving the coffee's original sensory characteristics. The result is a chemical-free decaf that maintains the full-bodied flavor and aroma of traditional Mexican coffee.
In the cup, expect a rich, smooth brew that captures the essence of Veracruz's coffee terroir. The combination of Tipica, Bourbon, and Caturra varieties offers a complex flavor profile, typically featuring notes of chocolate, nuts, and subtle fruit undertones. The Mountain Water Process ensures that these delicate flavors are preserved, allowing you to enjoy a truly authentic Mexican coffee experience without the caffeine.
This coffee is more than just a delicious brew; it's a window into Mexico's vibrant coffee industry. Veracruz, one of Mexico's top coffee-producing states, is known for its diverse coffee-growing regions and high-quality beans.
