Mild malt and fruit flavors with mellow tart acidity and sweetness.
Producer notes:
Our water-processed decafs are done in a facility in Mexico called
Descamex. In order to remove the caffeine in this process, green
coffee is soaked in a water solution, which removes both the caffeine
as well as other solubles in the coffee (flavor compounds, for
instance). The water is removed from the seeds and run through a
special filter that captures caffeine molecules and allows them to be
strained from the solution. The solution—now containing flavor
compounds but no caffeine—is then reintroduced to the green coffee
seeds, which reabsorb the soluble materials. The coffee is then dried
once more, and prepared for reexport.
