Sourced from the Chiapas region of Mexico, this SkyTop Coffee offering features the Marsellesa varietal grown at elevations between 1100 and 1350 meters. This specific lot undergoes the Mountain Water Process, a decaffeination method that utilizes pure water to remove caffeine while aiming to preserve the inherent characteristics of the bean. Because this coffee is processed as a washed lot, it reflects the clean, bright acidity often associated with this traditional technique.

When evaluating the nuances of this medium-light roast, we encourage you to reference the flavor wheel to help identify the specific aromatic and taste profiles present.
