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.
