Decaf Espresso

Our current decaf origin is Honduras.

Deliciously roasty and smooth, Higher Grounds' Decaf shines as espresso.

We start with high-quality, certified organic beans sourced from one of our trusted cooperatives in either Peru or Honduras or Mexico, depending on seasonal availability. These coffees are selected for their unique flavor profiles, ensuring they stand out as fabulous decaffeinated offerings.

At the Descamex Mountain Water Decaffeination Plant in Veracruz, Mexico, caffeine is gently removed using pure water, steam, and carbon filtration - never chemicals. The result is a clean, chemical-free process that preserves the natural sweetness and character of the coffee.

Sourced from Honduras, this Decaf Espresso by Higher Grounds Trading Co. offers a focused approach to decaffeinated coffee. The beans undergo the Mountain Water Decaffeination process, a method that relies on pure water and solubility to remove caffeine while aiming to preserve the inherent characteristics of the origin. Generally, decaffeination techniques are designed to maintain the structural integrity of the green coffee, though the resulting cup profile can vary significantly depending on the specific method employed. For those interested in how different techniques impact the final cup, our processing methods explainer provides a deeper look into the science behind these practices. As you evaluate the nuances of this espresso, we recommend referencing the flavor wheel to help identify and articulate the specific sensory qualities present in your brew. This selection represents a thoughtful option for those seeking a decaffeinated experience without compromising on the origin's distinct regional identity.
