83.5 Cup Score

Finding a decaf coffee that truly delivers on flavour is often a challenge, but our Mexican Decaf Mountain Water Process coffee stands out as a remarkable exception. Sourced from smallholders in Frontera, Chiapas, nestled in the Sierra Madre mountains, this coffee benefits from the same microclimate as the famed Huehuetenango region. The result is a decaf that’s rich in character, with delightful notes of milk chocolate, bright citrus, and a sweet, clean finish.

What sets this coffee apart is the meticulous Mountain Water Process, an all-natural decaffeination method that uses pure water from Pico de Orizaba, Mexico’s highest peak. This process expertly removes caffeine while preserving the coffee's inherent flavor, ensuring that each cup offers the full-bodied experience you crave, without the caffeine.

As a staple in our offerings, this decaf is perfect for those who refuse to compromise on quality. Whether you’re looking for a well-rounded decaf to anchor your menu or seeking a reliable option for your decaf-loving customers, this coffee delivers consistency and satisfaction in every brew.

To ensure you never run out of this exceptional decaf, we offer it as part of our subscription service. With regular shipments, you can keep your shelves stocked and your customers happy, without the worry of supply gaps. Whether you choose to purchase in bulk or subscribe for ongoing deliveries, this Mexican Decaf Mountain Water Process coffee is a must-have for any roaster seeking quality and reliability.

Cupping Notes

This coffee offers a structured and balanced profile, with an intriguing complexity that unfolds with each sip. The initial impression is quick and lively, revealing notes of molasses, dried dates, and almond, giving it a rich, layered sweetness. A juicy mouthfeel enhances flavours of caramel, dark chocolate, and orange, adding both depth and vibrancy to the cup. The finish brings a refined touch of black tea, contributing to the coffee’s overall smoothness and making it a well-rounded experience from start to finish.

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.

We’re always on the lookout for opportunities to expand our offerings with coffees that align with our mission.

When we do engage in sourcing ourselves, transparency is key. We make every effort to gather comprehensive information about the coffees we source and share that information with our customers in a clear and open manner.

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 within the UK or EU, there are no extra customs charges or hidden fees. We warehouse UK orders in the UK and EU orders in the EU, so everything stays within the region. The price you see is the price 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.
