The Rio Grijalva plays a pivotal role in powering La Angostura, a  dam and reservoir project in Chiapas, Mexico.  Originating near the Guatemalan highlands, the river flows seamlessly into the Lagunas de Colon before reaching the dam. This expansive water body is instrumental in irrigating numerous coffee farms in the vicinity, providing essential water resources to thousands of coffee producers for cultivation, vegetable farming, and household electricity.

Herein the use of water in this wonderful Decaf's Mountain Water Process. Through a proprietary organic solution, coffee beans undergo a transformative journey. By utilizing the power of reverse osmosis, this process delicately removes over 99% of caffeine while preserving every other nuanced chemical compound that defines coffee. The outcome is delightfully remarkable, sweet and balanced profile.

Civil Coffee's La Angostura decaf hails from small-scale producers in Chiapas, Mexico's premier coffee region. Sourced from high-elevation plots between 1500–1800 meters, this blend of Bourbon Typica, Mundo Novo, and Caturra employs the Mountain Water Process—a solvent-free decaffeination method that preserves origin character. The roaster identifies flavors of dry berries, sugarcane, and cocoa alongside burnt caramel and citrus zest, suggesting a decaf with surprising complexity and sweetness. For those seeking to understand the full sensory profile, consult the flavor wheel. This lot demonstrates that decaffeinated coffee from quality origins and careful processing can deliver layered, satisfying notes rather than the flatness often associated with caffeine removal.
