COFFEE BIOGRAPHY
Our new Decaf Guatemala is a blend of coffees from several small farms Huehuetenango. In this region, coffee has been cultivated since the 1950s. Today, virtually every farm on the mountain has become a coffee-producing unit and what was once one of the poorest and most isolated areas of Guatemala is vibrant and growing. Rainy and cloudy, Oriente is located on a former volcanic range. Its soil is made of metamorphic rock: balanced in minerals and quite different from soils in regions which have seen volcanic activity since coffee was first planted.
Once the coffee is imported, the importer sends the coffee off to the decaffeination plant. This decaf was processed by Swiss Water in Vancouver, BC, known the world over for their chemical-free, water-based decaf process technique that is gentle on the coffee and retains some of the volatile compounds that affect flavor and aroma.
