Processed in the innovative Descamex plant in Mexico, this superb coffee is gently decaffeinated by washing with pure, glacier water from Mexico’s highest mountain, Pico de Orizaba. Locals call it Citlaltépetl or ‘Star Mountain’. The raw coffee beans are immersed and washed in tanks which removes almost all the caffeine, and are then slowly dried over a period of four hours. This chemical-free method produces a coffee that is richly flavoured, full-bodied and 99.9% caffeine free. The water preserves the soluble flavouring of the beans, keeping the original characteristics of the coffee.
We are really pleased to support the not-for-profit work done in Mexico by Raw Material; the state of Oaxaca, is one of the poorest states in regards to poverty in Mexico - with much lower production yields in coffee that rival countries too, it means that they struggle to keep up, but quality is improving at an incredible rate that we are delighted to support and help this economy grow.
