This lot is fully traceable to woman-owned farmers who participate in Covoya’s Cafe Delas Woman producer program. Cafe Delas does not simply search for circumstances where women are the decision makers behind a coffee. Covoya actively provides outreach and education to women involved in coffee to equip them for being decision makers and requires that women in the Cafe Delas program are involved in leadership and have a voice in the community, in addition to paying an additional premium for the coffee itself.

FARM INFO
There are various methods for decaffeinating coffee, including solvent-based and water-based processes. Mountain Water Decaf, is one of the water-based methods known for its natural and chemical-free approach.
Developed by Descamex in Veracruz, Mexico, in the 1980s, Mountain Water Decaf is a chemical-free decaffeination process that uses pure spring water from Pico de Orizaba, Mexico’s highest mountain. The process begins with a physical and chemical analysis of the coffee beans to determine optimal extraction conditions. The beans are then steamed to prepare them for extraction, during which they are soaked in water to remove caffeine and flavor compounds, creating a green coffee extract. This extract is filtered through a specialized carbon system to remove only the caffeine, then reintroduced to the beans. This method preserves the coffee’s natural flavors and nuances while eliminating 99% of its naturally occurring caffeine—without the use of chemical additives or solvents.
Finally, the beans are dried to their original moisture content, ensuring a clean, well-balanced, and flavorful cup without caffeine. This washed Arabica from Mexico is a perfect choice for those seeking a decaf option from an organic farm.
