Decaf - For Brewed Coffee or Espresso Dark Roast

Our decaffeinated coffee is decaffeinated using the mountain water process, which is one of the cleanest way to decaffeinate coffee. This method also preserves the test of the coffee, instead of stripping it away like some other processes do. The dark roast is commonly preferred for espresso but is versatile and can be used with any brewing method to match your flavor preferences. 

***Please note, we will not grind for espresso for a 5lb bag. The largest size we grind for espresso grind is 1lb.***

Process: Decaffeinated through the Mountain Water Process. From our importer:

Our water-processed decafs are done in a facility in Mexico called Descamex. In order to remove the caffeine in this process, 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.
