Cristal is sourced from multiple coffee-growing regions in Mexico, including areas near the El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve in Chiapas, home to one of Mesoamerica’s largest continuous cloud forests. Coffee grown in these regions is typically shade-grown, and many farms naturally follow organic and Fair Trade practices.

This blend brings together Bourbon, Typica, and Mundo Novo — traditional varieties that have been grown throughout Latin America for generations and are valued for their cup quality.

Cristal is decaffeinated using the Mountain Water Process (MWP) by Descamex in Mexico. The process uses glacial spring water from Pico de Orizaba, Mexico’s highest peak, to remove caffeine while preserving the coffee’s flavor. Like Swiss Water Process, MWP is chemical- and solvent-free.

Sourced from multiple farms across Mexico, the Decaf Mexico Cristal Select is a testament to the quality achievable through the Mountain Water Process. This decaffeination method is favored for its ability to preserve the inherent characteristics of the bean without the use of chemical solvents. As a Bourbon varietal, this coffee offers a balanced foundation that allows the specific profile curated by Case Study Coffee to shine.

When evaluating this selection, drinkers may find the tasting notes of papaya, macadamia nut, and chocolate Nesquik particularly distinct. While individual experiences vary, those looking to better articulate these specific nuances can consult the flavor wheel to identify the underlying sensory components. Because this lot is a blend from multiple regions, it represents a broad expression of Mexican coffee production, carefully decaffeinated to ensure a consistent experience for those seeking a high-quality cup without the caffeine.
