    Finding a decaf coffee that truly delivers on flavor is often a challenge, but our Mexican Decaf Mountain Water Process coffee stands out as a remarkable exception.

    Roasting Recommendation

    When roasting the Mexican Decaf Mountain Water Process coffee, it's essential to approach the process with care and precision to preserve its delicate flavors and achieve the best possible results. Decaffeinated beans, like these, are more susceptible to scorching and can lose their nuanced flavors if not handled properly.

    Start with a Lower Charge Temperature: Begin your roast with a lower charge temperature to prevent burning the beans. This gentle start will help maintain the coffee's rich notes of milk chocolate, bright citrus, and sweetness.

    Monitor Closely Before First Crack: Keep a close eye on the temperature as the beans approach the first crack. Decaf beans can react more quickly to heat, so careful monitoring will ensure you capture the desired flavors without overdeveloping the roast.

    Adjust for the Decaf Process: Given that this coffee has undergone the Mountain Water Process, which preserves its natural flavors exceptionally well, consider adjusting your roasting profile to allow for a slower, more controlled development. This will help highlight the creamy body and clean finish that make this coffee so special.

    By taking these steps, you can bring out the best in this unique decaf, ensuring a well-rounded, flavorful cup that stands out as a premium offering, whether you're crafting a single-origin espresso or a blend component.

    Descamex, a pioneer in the decaffeination industry, has earned a reputation for its innovative and natural approach to preserving the integrity of coffee flavors while removing caffeine. The Mountain Water Process (MWP) is their signature decaffeination method, celebrated for its ability to maintain the rich, nuanced flavors that coffee lovers cherish, even in a decaf.

    This process is rooted in the natural purity of Pico de Orizaba, Mexico’s highest mountain, where crystal-clear water is sourced to create a unique, water-based saturated solution. The journey begins with a precise chemical analysis to determine the optimal conditions for decaffeination, ensuring that the process is tailored to the specific characteristics of each batch of beans. The coffee beans are then gently steamed, preparing them for the extraction process.

    What sets the Mountain Water Process apart is its meticulous attention to preserving the coffee's flavor compounds. The water-based solution effectively removes caffeine without the use of chemicals, safeguarding the beans' natural oils and flavors. This method ensures that even in its decaffeinated form, the coffee retains its full-bodied taste, complex aroma, and vibrant character.

    Descamex's commitment to quality and innovation has made the Mountain Water Process a preferred choice for those seeking a decaf coffee that doesn’t compromise on flavor. By combining tradition with cutting-edge technology, Descamex has crafted a decaffeination process that respects the essence of the coffee, delivering a cup that’s both satisfying and caffeine-free.
