Mexico Quetzal Decaf

About This Coffee

This decaf coffee is a blend of lots from the Capitán Luis A. Vidal Cooperative in Jaltenango and the Majomut Organic Organisation in the Chiapas Highlands of Mexico. Grown at elevations between 1000 and 1800 meters, the coffee is cultivated using organic principles. It undergoes a mountain water decaffeination process, which uses glacial water to remove caffeine while preserving flavor. The cup profile features malty notes reminiscent of pumpernickel bread, complemented by chocolate and sweet plum jam.
