About this coffee

This coffee comes from the Frailesca region of Chiapas, Mexico, where high-altitude farms sit between 1,200 and 1,800 metres above sea level. Influenced by the surrounding Sierra Madre mountains and the nearby El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve, coffees from this area are known for their balance, sweetness, and approachability.

In the cup, this is a smooth and comforting coffee with plenty of clarity.
Expect rich milk chocolate sweetness at the core, layered with gentle honeyed notes and lifted by a clean, lemon-drop citrus finish. It’s rounded, easy-drinking, and quietly complex — a profile that works beautifully across brew methods.

Once processed, the coffee is gently decaffeinated using the Mountain Water Decaf method. This water-only process removes up to 99% of the caffeine while preserving flavour, body, and aroma. The water itself comes from Pico de Orizaba, Mexico’s highest mountain, making this a far more local and sustainable approach than traditional Swiss Water decaf.

Producer

This Mountain Water Decaf is sourced from 24 producing communities across the Frailesca region and Sierra Mariscal in Chiapas, Mexico. Farms sit between 1,200 and 1,800 metres above sea level and are influenced by the unique microclimates of the El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve, an area known for its biodiversity and ecological importance. Coffee here is grown in polyculture systems that support environmental resilience while providing social and economic stability for local communities. Decaffeination is carried out by Descamex in Veracruz using only mountain water, allowing flavour and aroma to remain intact while removing up to 99% of the caffeine, without chemicals.

Perfectly Roasted

We practice omni roasting—a philosophy kind of like finding each coffee bean's one true love in roast form!

This means every bean gets its perfect roasting match to highlight its unique quirks and flavours. Naturally decaffeinated beans, after their caffeine-free makeover, can be a bit sensitive and prone to over-roasting, so we steer clear of going too dark to keep their delightful tastes intact.

Why Decaf?

Gentler on the stomach, better sleep, suitable for pregnant woman, loaded with anti-oxidants and let's be honest, all the great coffee taste with no caffeine crash.

So Why Craft Decaf?

Decaffeinated naturally at source which is more sustainable as less miles are travelled
We focus solely on decaf and we won't send a bean we haven't tried - your personal decaf experts

Fantastic

This is my favourite Craft decaf so far. It makes a cracking V60 with a pleasant citrus acidity. Espresso is good, too: probably better suited to Americano than milkies because it's quite bright.

Fabulous decaff and half-caff coffee. Best available.

My favourite decaf

My favourite. I used to only have fruity dark roasts but this completely won me over. I don’t really get the lemon drop notes but the milk chocolate notes are definitely there. It’s so smooth. I use a V60 and sometimes have it with oat milk. Delicious either way. Give it a try!
