Mexico
Mountain Water Decaf
Medium Roast
275g Everyday Bag
A proper coffee experience, without the caffeine kick.
Our Mexico Mountain Water Decaf is a carefully selected single-estate coffee from Finca La Laja in the Veracruz region of Mexico. Produced by the Sampieri family, who have been farming the estate for three generations, this is a beautifully balanced coffee that demonstrates just how good decaffeinated coffee can be.
Grown at approximately 1,100 metres above sea level, this coffee combines three varieties: Bourbon, Caturra and Cirollo. Each contributes something distinctive to the cup, bringing together sweetness, brightness and a delicate, well-rounded character.
The coffee is decaffeinated using the Mountain Water process, a water-based method carried out locally in Veracruz by DESCAMEX. Rather than using chemical solvents, this process uses water to gently remove caffeine while retaining much of the coffee’s natural flavour and character.
At The Cracking Bean, we roast this coffee to a slightly deeper medium roast, developing its natural chocolate sweetness, warming spice and rounded body while retaining a gentle citrus brightness.
The result is a smooth, satisfying and versatile decaf with all the character you’d expect from a quality speciality coffee.
Ideal for enjoying throughout the day, after dinner or whenever you fancy a great cup of coffee without the caffeine.
