Mountain Water Decaffeination: About The Process
This genius approach to decaffeination involves creating a ‘green solution’ which can be used multiple times for multiple, enormous batches of coffee. Beans are soaked in warm water, which slowly extracts all compounds in the bean, even caffeine. This flavour rich green solution is passed through a charcoal screen, removing caffeine but allowing everything else to remain. The producers can then sit another set of green beans in the solution, and given the solution is saturated with flavour compounds, but not caffeine, osmosis allows the caffeine to leave the beans, but not the flavour. The solution is then charcoal screened again and the cycle continues. No chemicals, no unwanted extra flavour, no flavour lost.
This process is up to 99.9% effective at removing caffeine and means there is an incredibly exciting future for decaf coffee.
Mexico Decaf: Taste Profile
This Mexican bean is 100% Arabica, grown in the mountainous regions of Chiapas, Oaxaca and Veracruz. With rich, volcanic soil and high elevation the quality of the bean is high. It has a mild acidity and balanced, sweet body. For such a quality coffee we need a decaffeination method which allows its characteristics to flourish, so we choose the Mountain Water process.
Given this is the only decaf we offer, it needs to be versatile, and it is certainly just that. Expect caramel, vanilla and even hints of fudge however you drink it.

I love coffee and enjoy trying different origins and roasts but for an excellent great daily drinking coffee with great body and taste this is my daily go to, drink it black (never pollute coffee with milk or sugar). Proves if you start with a great coffee bean, organic is a bonus, roast it really well, prepare it well (Aeropress) you get a great coffee.

First time with a proper Decaf….. and I have to say, we are both very impressed. Whether the old body can cope without the caffeine hit remains to be seen.
It’s a nice coffee, we like it.

I drink both ‘normal’ coffee (bean then grind) and decaffeinated. My wife cannot take caffeine for medical reasons and we buy this decaffeinated coffee from Adams & Russell regularly. We have tried various decaffeinated coffees from a variety of roasters nationally. This Mexican Decaf is the best with only one other coming close. It is full of flavour and morish.
