DECAF Mexico Natural entkoffeinierte Kaffeebohnen

If you love coffee but prefer to drink it decaffeinated, our DECAF is made for you. Notes of milk chocolate, caramel and fig make this coffee a real taste experience—even after decaffeination!

The green coffee is a varietal blend of Catimor and Sarchimor, grown at an average elevation of 1,250 meters above sea level in the Veracruz region of Mexico. We source it directly from Farm Rancho San Felipe, with no intermediaries. The De Gasperín family has operated the farm since 1924 and also works with other producers in the region.

In Mexico, the beans are decaffeinated using the Mountain Water Process. This is a particularly gentle, chemical-free method. To decaffeinate the beans, Descamex cleans a batch of unroasted coffee beans and soaks them in water. The water bath opens the pores of the beans, washing out water-soluble substances—including caffeine.

Using activated carbon filters, the workers remove caffeine from the resulting liquid. A new batch of coffee beans is then added to the saturated, caffeine-free water. The caffeine from the beans passes into the liquid, while the remaining compounds stay in the green coffee. The liquid is cleaned again using activated carbon filters, and the process starts over until the green coffee contains less than 0.01% residual caffeine. The beans are then dried and shipped onward.
