Our Decaffeinated Mountain Water Process decaf from Mexico is a traceable single estate coffee from the Finca La Laja farm close to the village of Huatusco in the state of Veracruz. La Laja is owned by Hermilo Sampieri. For three generations, the Sampieri family has produced coffee on approx. 500 ha of La Laja farm at 1,100meters above sea level utilizing an average temperature from 15-22 Degrees Celsius, fertile soil and a tropical climate with annual rainfall of 2000 ml.
 
Today, the farm is certified for its sustainable production with RFA (Rain Forest Alliance) and 4C. The name "La Laja" is derived from the name of a stone common in the region of Huatusco, Veracruz. 
The harvest can go from October/November up through April. 
 
Mountain Water Process is a method of indirect decaffeination. This method is done by DESCAMEX (Descafeinadores Mexicanos), which uses pure water from Pico de Orizaba—the highest mountain in Mexico. The process begins with a chemical analysis to determine optimal conditions, and then the beans are steamed and prepared for extraction. The extraction process uses a water-based saturated solution that removes the caffeine while keeping the coffee's flavour compounds in place.
