THE FARM: Veracruz is the second-largest coffee-producing state in Mexico. The port city, located on the southeastern coast along the Gulf of Mexico, which was nicknamed the "capital of coffee," was the gateway for coffee to disseminate throughout the country after the first plants arrived in Mexico in the 18th century. With an elevations of 700-1,400masl and a warm, semi-humid climate with average rainfall of 2,141mm of rain annually, Veracruz is well-suited for Arabica coffee production.

The Mountain Water Process for decaf green coffee beans is trademarked to the Descamex facility in Mexico. As a popular natural method for decaffeination, the Mountain Water Process uses pure water as an extraction solution, separating the caffeine compounds from the unroasted green coffee. Mountain Water decaf process green coffee is entirely chemical-free, which means the decaffeination process can preserve flavor with minor alternation to the coffee's original sensory profile.

OUR ROAST: The dry fragrance has a clean smelling sweetness of cane sugar, butter pecan, and baked goods like a shortbread cookie. The wet aroma is very sweet as well, with notes of butterscotch chips, toffee almond, and a potent whiff of caramel cookie on the break. The sweetness translates as brown sugar with a moderate aftertaste of semi-sweet milk chocolate.
