About This Coffee

This is a decaffeinated organic coffee from Finca Cruxtitla in Chiapas, Mexico, operated by the Muguira family from Huatusco. The coffee is decaffeinated using the Mountain Water Process, a chemical-free method similar to Swiss Water Process that uses water to remove caffeine from green coffee beans directly in the country of origin. The varieties include Catimor and Catuai. The flavor profile features dark chocolate and brown spices. This coffee has a medium roast level with moderate body and lower complexity.

Maillardos

A married couple from two coffee worlds built this roastery: Uriel from the Swiss German town of Rheineck and Raquel from San Jose, Costa Rica. The name pays tribute to Louis Camille Maillard (1878–1936), the scientist behind the Maillard reaction responsible for the complex aromas that develop during roasting. What started as a crowdfunded show roastery has grown into a certified organic operation (CH Bio 086) with a dedicated production facility in Altenrhein, where a Loring roaster runs on 100% regional biogas. Every batch is roasted for 8 to 16 minutes under close supervision, with Cropster software and regular tastings ensuring consistency and continuous improvement. Maillardos sources traceable coffees from smaller producers, paying well above commodity exchange prices, and packages everything in fully recyclable materials.
