We found a comforting mixture of graham cracker, milk chocolate, and molasses aromas in this organic decaf, with flavors of semi-sweet chocolate and dates when brewed. The body is velvety with mild acidity and the aftertaste is pleasantly tannic, with toasted pecan and black tea notes.

The Story

This lot, imported by Crop to Cup from Oaxaca's Galguera Gomez mill, consists of coffees from six communities around Guadalupe Miramar, a small indigenous Mixteca village in western Oaxaca.

We are now offering this coffee in its original caffeinated form as well: La Mixteca Yucuhiti Organic.

The Mountain Water Process

The Mountain Water Process (MWP) is a chemical-free method for removing caffeine from green coffee beans. The process involves soaking green coffee in fresh mountain glacier water until it reaches a saturation level that allows the dissolvable solids, including caffeine, to be extracted. The water then passes through carbon filters, removing the caffeine before being returned to the tank. Under pressure, the coffee oils are reintroduced to the green coffee, leaving it around 98% caffeine free.

The process tends to emphasize body and chocolate notes while preserving acidity.
