Frailesca, Mexico (Water Decaf)

This coffee comes from the Frailesca region of Chiapas, Mexico, where high-altitude farms sit between 1,200 and 1,800 metres above sea level. Influenced by the surrounding Sierra Madre mountains and the nearby El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve, coffees from this area are known for their balance, sweetness, and approachability.

In the cup, this is a smooth and comforting coffee with plenty of clarity.
Expect rich milk chocolate sweetness at the core, layered with gentle honeyed notes and lifted by a clean, lemon-drop citrus finish. It’s rounded, easy-drinking, and quietly complex — a profile that works beautifully across brew methods.

Once processed, the coffee is gently decaffeinated using the Mountain Water Decaf method. This water-only process removes up to 99% of the caffeine while preserving flavour, body, and aroma. The water itself comes from Pico de Orizaba, Mexico’s highest mountain, making this a far more local and sustainable approach than traditional Swiss Water decaf.
