This Mexico Esmeralda Decaf is a clean and approachable coffee sourced from smallholder producers in Southern Mexico. It is a blend of high-altitude varieties grown in volcanic soils. The coffee undergoes the EA Sugarcane decaffeination process, which preserves its natural flavor structure. It features a balanced profile with tasting notes of cherry, almond, baking spice, milk chocolate, macadamia, green apple, lemon, toast, and vanilla. This light roast offers a smooth, medium body with soft, balanced acidity, making it ideal for filter brewing methods like pour-over, drip, and French press.
