This lot of Veracruz green coffee beans was sourced from small holders across the Veracruz region. The coffee combines Tipica. Bourbon and Caturra varieties. Before undergoing decaffeination at the Descamex facility, it was washed and fully sundried.

Changes to how coffee is decaffeinated leave a cleaner mouthfeel and bigger flavor. The Mountain Water Process uses pure water as a natural extraction solution, separating the caffeine compounds from the unroasted green coffee. This process is chemical-free, which means the decaffeination preserves flavor with minor alteration to the coffee's original sensory profile. Then coffee is depulped the same day it's harvested, then given a 12–18-hour fermentation in tanks or buckets before being washed clean of mucilage and dried.

Decaf Mexico Veracruz is smooth, sweet with very mild acidity. Honestly, if the label didn’t say decaf, we would think it’s regular coffee. Look for big notes of honey and almond up front when this coffee is hot, while subtle notes of apple show when it begins to cool off.
