El Motmot, named for a stunning bird native to Chiapas, Mexico, is a decaf coffee crafted using the Mountain Water Process. This method uses pure mountain water from Pico de Orizaba to decaffeinate green coffee beans, achieving 99.9% caffeine removal while preserving rich flavor. The beans are lightly steamed, then soaked in water infused with coffee flavor compounds to maintain their taste profile. After processing, the beans are dried, tested, and analyzed for quality, ensuring a full-flavored decaf experience reflective of its vibrant Chiapas origins.
