This decaf coffee originates from the Frailesca region in Chiapas, Mexico, produced by communities located across the VI Frailesca region and Sierra Mariscal. It is a washed coffee made from Typica, Mundo Novo, Bourbon, and Caturra varieties, grown at altitudes between 1200 and 1800 meters. The coffee undergoes mountain water decaffeination using pure volcanic water from Pico de Orizaba, which removes 99% of caffeine while preserving flavor compounds. The cup features brown sugar sweetness, dark chocolate, and citrusy orange notes with a hint of warm spices.
Downriver Coffee Roasters is a small batch specialty roastery in Port Glasgow, on the banks of the River Clyde. They roast on a Diedrich IR 2.5 affectionately named Geraldine, treating coffee as fresh seasonal produce and aiming to highlight what makes each lot distinctive. Green beans come through specialty importers who maintain long term, transparent relationships with farmers. The roastery offers tasting experiences throughout the year and handles weekly deliveries to the Glasgow area alongside free local hand delivery across Inverclyde.
