Tucan Mexican Water Decaf – Decaffeinated Coffee

This unique, chemical-free decaffeination process uses crystal-clear water from Mexico’s highest mountain, Pico de Orizaba, known in the language of the Indigenous people as Citlatepetl. The process involves soaking green coffee beans in water to extract the caffeine. The water retains the beans’ soluble flavor components, protecting the coffee’s original characteristics. To remove the caffeine from the water, which contains these aromatic components, it is passed through a filtration system. The result is a solution that combines the original mountain water with the coffee’s soluble aromas, now free of caffeine. The resulting green coffee is 99.9% caffeine-free.

The beans are then dried to the appropriate moisture level, packaged, and prepared for export in 69-kilogram bags. The Mountain Water Process is patented and has organic certification in accordance with OCIA, NOP, and JAS regulations. The producer is also kosher-certified.

Coffee first arrived in Mexico in the late 18th century, brought by Spanish settlers. Today, the country produces a significant amount of coffee, although its position as a coffee producer on the global scale has weakened considerably due to the emergence of unusual Arabica coffee producers on the market, and particularly crop losses caused by coffee leaf rust. Although Mexico is one of the leading exporters of certified coffee (both organic and fair trade), its high-quality specialty coffee market has yet to see significant growth.
