This decaffeinated coffee is produced by small producers in the Sierra Mazateca region of Oaxaca, Mexico, at altitudes between 1500 and 2000 meters. The coffee features mixed varieties including Typica, Mundo Novo, and Bourbon. It is washed processed and decaffeinated using the Mountain Water Process at a facility in Veracruz. The cup profile features a creamy body with tasting notes of milk chocolate and dates. The decaffeination process uses mineral water from Pico de Orizaba and is chemical-free.
Tereza and Jon founded Curve Coffee Roasters in early 2016 in Margate, Kent, after meeting while working at a small London roastery. Jon first encountered specialty coffee while working at a high end equipment store in Sweden and went on to become a head roaster. Tereza's focus lies in responsible sourcing, ethical marketing, and sustainability across the supply chain. The roastery started at the back of a Margate cafe and has grown to a team of 15 with a customer base extending across Kent, London, and beyond. Sourcing runs on direct partnerships, including with El Zapoteco Cafe in the Sierra Juarez of Oaxaca, Mexico, and the Colombian exporter Siruma. The preference is for showcasing individual coffee profiles rather than blending.
