El Triunfo Decaffeinated — Mexico
In the mountains of Chiapas, southern Mexico, coffee plants grow in the heart of preserved landscapes where tropical forests and steep terrain shape the land, at an altitude of over 1,300 meters.
Hand-picked, the cherries are washed, then the coffee is delicately decaffeinated with water to preserve its balance, sweetness, and aromas. It is grown by the El Triunfo Verde cooperative.
IDENTITY CARD
The profile of this coffee
- Intense cocoa
Count 60 g of coffee per litre of water, or 15 g for a 250 ml cup. Use water between 92 and 96 °C, never boiling. For filter, extraction should run from 2 min 30 to 4 minutes depending on volume.
This washed coffee handles 95 to 96 °C well: the heat helps reveal its body without masking its acidity.
If the cup is bitter and drying, coarsen the grind. If it is sour and hollow, make it finer. One variable at a time.
Store this coffee as whole beans, in its original bag properly resealed, away from light and heat, at room temperature.
Do not keep it in the fridge: moisture and condensation damage the beans and make them absorb odours.
Once ground, use it quickly: the volatile aromatics escape within days.
