The Mountain Water Decaf process, developed by the Mexican company Descamex in Córdoba, Veracruz, is a chemical-free decaffeination method that uses pure spring water from the Pico de Orizaba—the tallest volcano in Mexico—to remove caffeine from green coffee beans. As the mountain water passes through the beans, it dissolves caffeine while preserving the flavor and aroma compounds. Unlike other methods that rely on chemicals, this technique uses only water and specialized filters to extract up to 99% of the caffeine without compromising the coffee’s original taste. The result is a high-quality decaf coffee that closely resembles its caffeinated counterpart, making it a preferred choice for those seeking a natural, flavorful alternative.
