This Swiss Water Decaf coffee originates from the Chiapas Highlands in Mexico, specifically from smallholder farms across the Sierra Madre de Chiapas at elevations of 1,200-1,750 meters. The coffee features Typica, Bourbon, and local cultivars grown in volcanic soil with cool mountain air. It is decaffeinated using the chemical-free Swiss Water Process, which removes caffeine using only filtered water, heat, and time while preserving the coffee's natural character. The flavor profile includes milk chocolate sweetness and toasted pecan depth with a soft, gentle finish. This is a light-medium roast that brews well as espresso or filter coffee.
