A caffeine-free Mexican Esmeralda lot from smallholder coffee growers, decaffeinated with sugarcane-derived ethyl acetate and described with apple, shortbread, and Dutch cocoa powder notes.
The roaster’s comparisons for the coffee’s aroma and flavor. A note such as peach or chocolate is a sensory description, not an ingredient claim. Perception varies with preparation, temperature, and the person tasting.

Official location informationCoffee details
The countries and regions where the coffee grew. A region is a more local geographic description within an origin. Place names offer context but do not prove a particular flavor or identify a cultivar.
The coffee fruit is removed before the seeds dry. Remaining sticky fruit material is removed through fermentation and washing or mechanical methods. “Washed” describes preparation, not a higher cleanliness or quality grade.
Typical taste: Often bright and clearly defined, with noticeable acidity and a lighter body.
Results also depend on growing conditions, roasting, and brewing.
The listing does not establish a roast level. Do not infer it from a tasting note or a recommended brewing method.
This detail is not available in the roaster’s listing.
The listing does not clearly identify a single origin or blend. We leave the classification open instead of inferring it from the coffee’s name or number of tasting notes.
This detail is not available in the roaster’s listing.
Named types or selections of coffee plants. Plant identity is separate from origin and processing. A broad species name does not identify a specific cultivar.

Official location information (opens in a new tab)An influential Arabica variety named after Réunion, formerly Bourbon Island. Its tall trees are ancestors of many modern cultivars. It can produce excellent coffee, but the plant name alone does not tell you which flavors this lot will have.
A naturally occurring compact form of Bourbon first selected in Brazil. Its smaller trees allow closer planting than taller varieties. Caturra identifies a coffee plant; processing, growing conditions, and roasting still shape the taste of a particular lot.
A breeding group descended from crosses between Caturra and Timor Hybrid. Many selections have their own names. A general Catimor label does not establish which selection was planted, and the group cannot be assigned one dependable flavor profile.
Caffeine has been removed from the green coffee before roasting. Some caffeine can remain. The Decaf label alone does not identify which removal method was used or guarantee a particular flavor.
The person, family, cooperative, or organization credited with producing the coffee. This label does not provide a biography or establish who performed every production step.
The farm where coffee grew, or a station that processes harvested cherries. One station can handle fruit from multiple growers.
This detail is not available in the roaster’s listing.
When the coffee cherries were picked, rather than when the beans were roasted. A listed season can span calendar years; missing dates should not be guessed.
