This decaffeinated coffee originates from Mexico, specifically from the Chiapas and Oaxaca regions at elevations between 900-1500 meters above sea level. The coffee is a blend of Bourbon, Caturra, Criollo, Mundo Novo, and Typica varieties. It undergoes washed processing followed by the Royal Water Process (Swiss Water Process) for decaffeination, preserving flavor while removing caffeine.

Steve and Elena Chang founded Copa Vida in 2013 in Pasadena, California, after the sale of the family noodle business they had managed for over a decade. Their first cafe opened at 70 South Raymond Avenue in Old Town Pasadena, and in May 2015 they formally launched a roastery on a Diedrich, located five minutes from the flagship shop. The menu follows a three tiered system — GO for classic approachable cups, ENJOY for lively fruit forward profiles, and EXPERIENCE for rare and storied lots. Copa Vida has since expanded to Glendale and San Marcos, and a wholesale division serves accounts throughout Southern California.
