This specialty-grade decaf coffee uses a natural, chemical-free Mountain Water decaffeination process that preserves the true character of the bean. The coffee is from Mexico and features flavor notes of chocolate, orange, pecan, brown sugar, and fig. It is roasted slightly darker to elevate the deep cocoa richness, making it ideal for lattes and espresso while maintaining a bold and comforting cup profile.
Steven Fonseca, born in Costa Rica, and Linda Juarez, born in Mexico, co founded Turtle Beans around 2022 in Bordentown, New Jersey, starting as an online operation from Fonseca's home before opening a permanent location. They source specialty grade beans from Kenya, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Mexico, and Costa Rica, with a preference for light to medium profiles that bring out tropical and fruity notes. Roasting happens on Sundays and shipping on Mondays. The business is tied to a conservation mission for endangered and vulnerable turtle species, with subscription packages named after turtle varieties. Fair pricing for farmers is a stated commitment alongside the environmental work.
