Quetzal Mountain Water DECAF

Our latest decaf coffee is from Chiapas in Mexico and uses the Mountain Water decaffeination method at the Descamex facility in Córdoba, Veracruz. The water used in this process comes from the Pico de Orizaba, the tallest volcano in Mexico located in Veracruz. This water is used to extract caffeine from the green coffee beans under controlled conditions of flow, temperature, pressure and vacuum in combination with a green coffee concentrate and a sophisticated filtration system (much like the Swiss Water decaffeination method) in combination with special filters.

Mountain Water Decaf Quetzal originates from 24 communities located across the VI Frailesca region and the Sierra Mariscal, traversed by the Sierra Madre de Chiapas, Mexico.

This coffee is influenced by the favourable microclimates of the El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve, which benefits local biodiversity and the economy. The coffee farms, situated between 1,200 and 1,800 masl, are developed in polycultures that offer significant environmental, social, and economic benefits.
