Description
About this coffee:
Decaffeinated • Double Quality Controlled • Single Origin • 100% Premium Arabica Coffee
With altitudes of 900 – 1,100 meters, the mountainous highlands of Chiapas provide climate of ideal temperature and humidity to grow large arabica beans which produce smooth, well-balanced coffees.
This Mexican Turquesa coffee comes from a group of smallholder producers in Chiapas who plant, harvest, and prepare the coffee by hand – sparing no effort to produce a product to be proud of. Generally, each produces between 10 to 15 bags. Coffee is quality checked and then sent to a high tech dry mill in Veracruz. After a second quality check, the coffee is cleaned, milled and sorted to be prepared for export.
Decaffeination process:
The coffee is decaffeinated naturally using water from the glaciers of Pico de Orizaba (the highest mountain in Mexico) in a method called ‘Mountain Water Process‘. The process is entirely chemical free and works by immersing the green beans in water at varying temperatures and pressures to extract the caffeine from the beans. This process allows the coffee to retain a clean, crisp and remarkably solid body, along with its original notes, flavours and aromas.
DID YOU KNOW? Much of the country’s coffee production is organised through cooperatives. Exporters of coffee from this region support communities with social projects and also use their own transportation infrastructure to bring the producers coffee to market.
Another little-known fact is that Mexico is one of the world’s largest exporters of organic-certified coffee, with up to 8% of producers growing it. [ref. Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (SADER)]

We love this coffee and as my partner has to cut out caffeine this makes him very happy to get all the flavour in a decaf coffee. Service is always quick and efficient

2nd order, really good service and lovely staff. Wish was on subscription list as can’t have caffeine.
Gill Gerrard –
After being told to stop the caffeine I had been searching for a full flavoured coffee. While on holiday in Guernsey I came across the lovely and knowledgeable team of Granite Goat at St Peter’s Port Sunday fair. They guided me through the process and now I have found this lovely and full flavoured coffee.

After being told to cut caffeine out I was struggling to find a decent coffee. I met the lovely and helpful people at Granite Goat in St Peter’s market and now my favourite coffee.
