Description
This Mexican coffee is decaffeinated with the Mountain Water Process at the Descamex facility in Mexico. As a popular natural method for decaffeination, the Mountain Water Process uses pure water as an extraction solution. Green coffee is soaked in a water solution, which removes both the caffeine as well as other solubles in the coffee (flavor compounds, for instance). The water is removed from the seeds and run through a special filter that captures caffeine molecules and allows them to be strained from the solution. The solution—now containing flavor compounds but no caffeine—is then reintroduced to the green coffee seeds, which reabsorb the soluble materials. The coffee is then dried once more, and prepared for reexport.
Mountain Water decaf process green coffee is chemical-free. The decaffeination process removes roughly 99% of the coffee’s caffeine while preserving flavor the coffee’s original sensory profile.
