Mexico Esmeralda Natural DeCaf - 1 LB Sale
Esmeralda variety coffee is grown in the Pluma, Oaxaca region, characterized by rich volcanic soil created by a long extent of ancient volcanoes. Small farms grow this mix of Typica, Bourbon, and Pluma Hidalgo varieties to give a unique flavor profile to coffee marketed under the Esmeralda name.
This coffee from a Westerly growing region in Mexico is uniquely different and wonderful to behold - large, perfect beans with a fragrant aroma even when green. We jumped at the chance to try an Esmeralda natural decaf and we fell in love with it immediately.
Sugarcane DeCaf uses alcohol fermented from sugarcane, with no chemicals or other solvents. It does not disturb the natural taste profile of the coffee and this process seems to produce some of the finest decaf coffees we have ever tasted (like the Colombia DeCaf we have used in our decaf and low-decaf blends).
We performed our usual focus group test for decaf coffee - we did not tell our tasters that the coffee had been decaffeinated. They all loved it and had praise for its rich taste... and only then did we let them know it was a decaf :-)
1 LB bags, please specify drip grind or whole bean. Dark Roast base with a little Medium Roast to enhance and broaden the profile. 97% caffeine-free.

The Araku Valley of India
India's coffee tradition goes back 400 years or more, when a variety called Kent was first established in the Southern Hills. Arabicas predominated until the blight of 1870, when growers needed to hybridize to resistant varieties. The resultant strains had genes from Liberica and other unique, resistant species.
