Guatemala Finca Santa Isabel | Washed MWP Decaf

Finca Santa Isabel has been owned by the Keller family since 1899. Having worked in coffee production all his life, and having served as Vice President of Anacafe, Alex Keller is well-known in the coffee industry. He is committed to organic production and understands its many positive impacts, from the environment to better quality in the cup, is fully aware about the impact of producing organic coffee, have many benefits, not just for the environment, but in the productions over the years, the result of the flavor and quality of the cup. This particular lot from the farm is made up of Caturra, Catuai and Bourbon varietals, and is washed. 

Mountain Water Process Decaf coffees are decaffeinated using pure spring water from Pico de Orizaba, the highest mountain in Mexico. Each batch of beans is steamed to create a green coffee extract, which is passed through a filter to remove only the caffeine content, then re-introduced to the green coffee. This process retains all the flavor and nuance inherent to the green coffee while removing 99% of the naturally occurring caffeine, all without the use of chemical additives or solvents. 

Look for a very balanced, approachable cup with this coffee, some nice red apple notes, sweet butterscotch and some milk chocolate rounding it all out.
