A classic delicious Tarrazu coffee, very well-balanced with high, slightly winey acidity. Roasted light, we tasted fruity pineapple and hibiscus in the cup. The dense beans that make up San Marcos lend themselves well to many different styles of roasting. La Minita has grown and exported world class coffee from Costa Rica for decades. Exquisitely sorted for minimal defects and ripe cherries. This Costa Rica coffee has been a crowd pleaser for Mocha Joe's for many, many years.

This is a special decaf coffee from the famed Sidama region in Ethiopia where some of the best coffees and in the world originate. This natural decaf was dried with coffee cherries still on the bean to impart even more fruity flavors to the bean and eventually your cup. We were wowed when we tasted this decaf on the cupping table and happy to offer it now as a light roast only to Mocha Joe's customers. Must try for decaf lovers.
Mountain Water Process is a chemical free process. The green coffee is pre-soaked in water to expand the beans for caffeine extraction. Unlike decaffeination processes that use chemicals, the beans are then introduced to a solution concentrated with coffee solubles that extract the caffeine without extracting the coffee’s particular flavor.

This coffee is naturally processed. This style of processing consists of picking only ripe cherries and laying them out to dry intact. The coffee must be turned consistently for it to dry evenly and to prevent mold growth. It shined on the cupping table at longer roasting times. Its high density translates to very high acidity in the cup, but lowering the heat application before first crack allows more time for sugars to caramelize and balance its inherent brightness. A lovely, light and fruity cup.

In March, Mocha Joe's sent Sales Manager & Green Coffee Buyer Bill to Guatemala in search of a great new coffee for the 2024-25 season. Bill traveled around the country, met farmers, learned about their challenges and successes, and tasted some GREAT coffee. He came back with a classic smooth and chocolatey organic Guatemala coffee from San Martin Jilotepeque, a small coffee growing region nestled in the mountains north of Guatemala City. Some nice citrus and tea notes when light roasted.
The small family farms from San Martin Jilotepeque organized under the Asproguate farmer’s association in 2014. Ninety-five percent of members are organic certified so Asproguate holds monthly workshops in organic fertilizers, fungicides, and insecticides so producers can make these essential products on their own farms. The farmers showed Bill how they make a fresh garlic infused organic pesticide that protects the coffee and the environment.
They also train on other agricultural practices like erosion mitigation and shade cover plus social program for women and children in the area. Fifty-five percent of producer members are women.
The coffee is sent to Dinamica Coffee in Guatemala City to be processed and sorted. State if the art mechanical sorters sift out defects and sort by size for an incredibly clean bean that you can taste in the cup.

We are thrilled to bring you this delicious Kenya AA coffee. The big complex wine like acidity and juicy fruit notes shined on the cupping table and we just had to bring this beauty in. Here for a limited time, Kenya AA Nguvu is delicious on drip and for a real treat, exquisite on espresso.
AA is the highest grade for the best Kenya coffees, free of defects. Nguvu comes from smallholder cooperatives in the Murang’a region. Murang’a is considered the traditional home of the Kikuyu tribe, which currently makes up 22 percent of Kenya’s population. The area’s beautiful red, loamy soil and startlingly high altitudes contribute to a juicy, berry-forward cup. These coffees are typically grown between 1,350 and 1,800 masl. Very high-quality coffees often derive from small co-ops and may be auctioned as separate lots.
