Decaf Mexico Chaipas

A very nice medium-dark roast decaf. It's a smooth cup, a little sweet edge, nutty, with a touch of chocolate. It has a little floral overtone, lower acidity, and a medium body, pretty hefty in its semi-sweet baker's chocolate tone.

MWP is Mountain Water Processed, a cool non-solvent-based decaf plant in Mexico. During the water process, the green coffee is pre-soaked in water to expand the beans for caffeine extraction. The hydrated green coffee is then introduced to a unique solution of concentrated coffee solubles that draw out the caffeine while minimizing the loss of flavor compounds. Once the caffeine has been removed, the green coffee is re-dried and re-bagged for transport, and the extract solution is filtered of its caffeine and recycled to be used again.
