MEXICO DECAF - Oaxaca

Why we selected this origin

For those who have caffeine sensitivities, we see you and want you to enjoy the rich flavors of coffee without the potentially negative effects. The amazing thing about coffee is that caffeine is only part of the flavor story. Flavor comes from hundreds of other volatile and non-volatile compounds as well. We selected this sugarcane processed coffee for its sustainable decaffeination method, as well as for its excellent flavor potential.

Producer Info

This coffee growing region in Oaxaca is made up of small family farms that surround the Sierra Madre del Sur coastal mountain range. Producers utilize organic practices to manage their farms and ensure sustainability of the environment. Approximately 40% of the producers are women, relying on coffee income to support their families.

After post-harvest processing, the coffees are decaffeinated through the sugarcane process — a process that utilizes naturally derived compounds from fermented sugarcane to extract the caffeine from the coffee beans. This process is less harmful than traditional decaffeination methods that rely on artificial chemical solvents to remove caffeine.
