Chiapas Organic Decaf

Organic Decaf Green Coffee Beans from Mexico

Regular price £11.95
Regular price Sale price £11.95

This organic decaf brings together two of Chiapas's most celebrated coffee-growing communities - the Capitán Luis A. Vidal cooperative from the Jaltenango highlands, and La Unión Majomut, a non-profit uniting around 610 indigenous families across 35 Tzotzil and Tzeltal communities in Los Altos de Chiapas. Every producer behind this coffee speaks Tzeltal or Tzotzil, and their relationship with the land runs deep.

La Unión Majomut is particularly remarkable in that its work extends well beyond coffee. It runs programmes for dignified housing, food self-sufficiency, women's productive organisation, and a rural micro-bank supporting the local solidarity economy - a reminder that buying this coffee supports something much larger than a single harvest.

Both communities farm using traditional "Rusticano" polyculture systems, where coffee grows beneath a mixed canopy of trees and fruit species at 1,000–1,800 metres. This ancestral approach builds resilience against disease, supports biodiversity, captures carbon, and produces higher quality coffee. The farms sit in the shadow of the El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve - a UNESCO-protected area preserving 10 of Mexico's 19 vegetation types, including cloud forest and rainforest. Chiapas is Mexico's largest organic coffee producer, and every bean here is grown entirely free from agrochemicals.

The decaffeination is handled with the same care. The Mountain Water Decaf process, developed by Descamex in Veracruz, uses pure glacial water from the Pico de Orizaba to remove up to 99% of caffeine - no chemicals, no compromise on flavour. The result is a clean, balanced cup that's as considered in process as it is in origin.

Meet your producer

Name Capitán Luis A. Vidal cooperative & La Unión Majomut
Location Chiapas, Mexico See on a map

This coffee is a blend from two producer groups in Chiapas, both working with Ensambles Cafés Mexicanos - a Mexican green coffee sourcing company that works directly with farming communities across the region.

The Capitán Luis A. Vidal cooperative is based in Jaltenango, in the Frailesca region of the Sierra Madre de Chiapas. Its member communities farm across Ángel Albino Corzo, La Concordia, and Montecristo de Guerrero, at altitudes between 1,200 and 1,800 metres. Farms here range from 2 to 10 hectares and are grown using entirely organic, agrochemical-free practices in traditional polyculture systems alongside the El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve.

La Unión Majomut is a non-profit organisation bringing together around 610 coffee-producing families from 35 indigenous Tzotzil and Tzeltal communities in Los Altos de Chiapas. Its work goes considerably beyond coffee — running programmes for dignified housing, food self-sufficiency, women's productive organisation, and a rural micro-bank designed to support the local solidarity economy. Coffee farming here follows the same ancestral rustic mountain system, with plants grown under mixed shade canopy alongside traditional milpa crops of corn, beans, squash, and chilli.

Ensambles supports both groups year-round through field technicians who train producers in sustainable agronomic and post-harvest practices. During harvest, coffees are scored at cupping labs in Oaxaca and Coatepec — giving producers a quality benchmark that strengthens their position when negotiating prices in a market that has historically undervalued their work.

    My absolute no1 place to get my small quantities of green coffee. Service is impeccable and the price is very very fair. For a small batch roastery this was one of our biggest point to navigate but the Green Coffee Collective made this a nothing thing for us now.

How we package
our coffees

Barrier packaging designed for specialty coffee.

We use Ecotact bags because they offer high-barrier protection against oxygen, moisture, and external contaminants. This helps preserve the quality, aroma, and flavour potential of your green coffee during transport and storage. They're trusted by top producers and importers worldwide.

Heat-Sealed for Maximum Protection

Every bag is professionally heat sealed at our warehouse to lock in freshness. This creates a secure seal that prevents exposure to air or humidity - keeping your green coffee stable, even over long periods.

Convenient Resealable Zip Closures

Once opened, each bag has a resealable zip to help you store and protect the rest of your coffee between roasts. It’s a simple way to reduce waste and maintain freshness - especially helpful for home roasters or sampling.

Portion sizes for any roaster.

Whether you're roasting at home or running a production line, we've got a size to suit. Choose from 0.5kg, 1kg, or 5kg bags - all packed with the same level of care. Smaller volumes make it easy to try new coffees without the commitment.

Responsible packaging choices.

Our bags are made from Graded 7 multi-layer recyclable plastic. While they may not go in your home recycling bin, they are accepted by specialist facilities. More importantly, they reduce waste by dramatically extending the shelf life of your green coffee.

Frequent Questions

Is your coffee unroasted?

Yes – all the coffee we sell is raw, unroasted green coffee unless clearly marked as a roasted sample. It might sound obvious, but it's one of the most common questions we get! If you're buying from us, you're getting green coffee ready for roasting.

How long does delivery take, and can I track my order?

We usually pack and dispatch orders within 1–2 working days. Once it’s on the move, you’ll get a tracking link so you can follow it all the way to your door.

For UK and EU deliveries, most orders arrive within 2–5 working days. International shipping can take a little longer depending on customs, but we’ll keep you updated every step of the way.

If you need your coffee urgently, you can select an express shipping option at checkout.

How does your quality guarantee work?

We stand by every coffee we offer — if the quality doesn’t match the listing, we’ll refund or credit you. No fuss.

We work directly with specialty producers and sourcing partners who are deeply connected to their regions. Every coffee is selected based on quality, transparency, and value — and we always share the details up front, from processing to cupping scores.

If something feels off when your coffee arrives, just get in touch. We’ll put it right, every time.

Will I need to pay customs duties or taxes?

No. If you’re ordering from the UK or the Europe, there are no customs charges or hidden fees.

We ship UK orders from our UK warehouse and EU orders from our EU-based warehouse, so everything stays within the region.

For UK customers, the price you see on the product page is the final price.

For EU customers, VAT rates vary by country, so your final price (including the correct local VAT) is shown clearly at the final step of checkout before you pay.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex), plus PayPal. You can also use gift cards at checkout. If your gift card doesn’t cover the full amount, you can easily top it up with another payment method.

How does your pricing work?

We keep our pricing simple, transparent, and fair. What you see on the product page is the final price per bag - no hidden fees, no surprises at checkout.

Prices are based on the coffee's quality, variety, processing method, and how it's sourced. We offer multiple sizes (from 0.5kg to 5kg), with smaller sizes priced to include repacking and packaging costs. Shipping is free, and VAT is already included in the price you see.

Do you offer any roasting advice for green coffee?

Absolutely. We work with roasters of all levels – from complete beginners to seasoned pros – and we’re always happy to share what we know.

You’ll find starter tips and roast profiles on our blog, or you can drop us a message if you’ve got questions about a specific coffee. A medium roast is usually a great place to start - it gives you a balanced view of the coffee’s flavour, and you can adjust from there.

What is your return policy if I'm not satisfied with the coffee do you offer any guarantees?

We want you to be happy with every coffee you try. If something doesn’t feel right - whether it’s a quality issue or your order isn’t what you expected - just get in touch. We’ll always do our best to put it right, whether that means a replacement, refund, or store credit.

Is there any customer support available if I have questions after purchasing or if something goes wrong?

Definitely. We’re here to help before, during, and after your order. If you have any questions about your coffee, roasting, or if something’s gone wrong with your delivery, just reach out. We’re a small team, but we’re quick to reply and always happy to sort things out.

You can contact us by email (hello@greencoffeecollective.com) or through the form on our website whatever works best for you.

What do your flavour notes mean?

Flavour notes describe the natural characteristics found in the coffee - shaped by things like variety, processing, and how it’s cultivated.

You might notice hints of chocolate, red fruit, florals or citrus. These aren’t added flavours - they’re subtle notes that come through when a coffee is grown, processed, and roasted with care. We include detailed origin info and flavour profiles on every product page to help you choose the right coffee for your taste.

Can I sample the coffee before purchasing?

Yes - we offer samples for nearly all of our coffees. There’s a small fee to cover the cost of packaging, green coffee, and prep, but it’s a great way to try before committing to a larger order.

Samples may not be available on limited-release or rare coffees due to low stock. If you’re unsure, just get in touch - we’re happy to help you find the right fit.

Unfortunately we can't offer samples in the EU yet.

How does the Cupping Score translate into taste or quality?

The cupping score is a quality grading system used by coffee professionals. It’s based on how a coffee tastes in a controlled tasting — looking at things like sweetness, balance, acidity, and complexity.

80–84 = Clean and consistent with good flavour — great everyday coffees.

85–87 = More complexity, distinct flavours, and refined sweetness.

88+ = Exceptional – rare, expressive coffees with standout characteristics.

Scores help you understand what to expect in the cup, but taste is personal. We include flavour notes and process details on every product page to help you find what suits your style best.

What’s the best way to brew this coffee once it’s roasted?

That depends on the coffee and how you like to drink it — but most of our coffees will shine as a filter brew (like V60, Chemex, or batch brew) or as a single origin espresso.

We’ve grouped our coffees into helpful collections like Espresso, Fruity Filter, and Cold Brew to guide you toward the right fit. Once roasted, feel free to experiment - you’ll quickly discover what brings out the best in each bean.
