Honduras Decaf Medium Roast Coffee

An exceptional Mountain Water Process (MWP) decaffeinated coffee from the CAFICO co-operative in Honduras.

Expect a smooth body, hints of citrus and flavours of chocolate, sweet fruit and a hint of caramel.

This coffee is sourced from family-owned farms organized around Cafés Finos de Corquin (CAFICO). CAFICO is an association of more than 400 farming families with farms that average 10 acres in size within the community of Corquín in the department of Copan, Honduras. CAFICO has established an innovative Finca Modelo (model farm) to develop good coffee practices that are practical and appropriate for the Corquin micro-region. Members of COFICO credit the model farm for improvements in their strategies for picking coffee, fermentation and drying practices.

Mountain Water Process is a method of indirect decaffeination. The process begins with a chemical analysis to determine optimal conditions, and then the beans are steamed and prepared for extraction. The extraction process uses a water-based solution saturated with green coffee extract that removes the caffeine while keeping the coffee's flavour compounds in place.
