“This might be the best decaf I’ve ever tasted,” said one of our roasters as we cupped this coffee. High praise, but we think it lives up to it! The flavor is so bright and sunny, you may not even miss the caffeine.
Swiss Water Process is a chemical free process. The green coffee is pre-soaked in pure, hot water to create a solution, which is passed through activated charcoal filters that extract the caffeine without extracting the coffee’s particular flavor.

This seasonal blend celebrates our Mexico Peaberry. While most coffee beans develop in pairs, about five percent of coffee beans develop alone, and take on a round, pea-like shape. When roasted on its own, the unique shape of peaberry coffee helps to bring out brighter flavors and more complex aromatics. We’ve roasted these beans to light and medium levels, and blended them to create something extra special. We hope our Holiday Blend will keep you feeling warm and festive the whole winter long!
Grupo Terruño Nayarita (GTNAY) is an enterprise that delivers consistently high-quality, socially and environmentally responsible, internet traceable coffee from Mexico.
GTNAY stockholders are independent democratic coffee producing societies scattered throughout the state of Nayarit. These societies range in size from 15 to a hundred producers. And while each society develops its own infrastructure and elects its own leaders, they are equal participants in the GTNAY structure, agreeing to not compete with each other and to implement proven best practices.
CAFESUMEX was founded by James Kosalos in Tepic, Nayarit in 2003. CAFESUMEX employees help their fellow GTNAY member producers acquire and accumulate the background and quality assurance data needed to obtain certifications, promote sales, and directly export their coffee. CAFESUMEX is also the co-inventor and manufacturer of the FincaLab Quality Management System along with its fully equipped professional portable Coffee Evaluation Laboratory. CAFESUMEX uses the FincaLab system to evaluate coffee lots, dispense immediate quality feedback to farmers, design blends to meet export contracts, and print bag labels with barcodes and serial numbers that provide full internet traceability for the coffee.
We are thrilled to bring you this delicious Kenya AA coffee. The big complex wine-like acidity and juicy fruit notes shined on the cupping table, and we just had to bring this beauty in. Here for a limited time, Kenya AA Nguvu is delicious on drip and for a real treat, exquisite on espresso.
AA is the highest grade for the best Kenya coffees, free of defects. Nguvu comes from smallholder cooperatives in the Murang’a region. Murang’a is considered the traditional home of the Kikuyu tribe, which currently makes up 22 percent of Kenya’s population. The area’s beautiful red, loamy soil and startlingly high altitudes contribute to a juicy, berry-forward cup. These coffees are typically grown between 1,350 and 1,800 masl. Very high-quality coffees often derive from small co-ops and may be auctioned as separate lots.
In March, Mocha Joe’s sent Sales Manager & Green Coffee Buyer Bill to Guatemala in search of a great new coffee for the 2024-25 season. Bill traveled around the country, met farmers, learned about their challenges and successes, and tasted some GREAT coffee. He came back with a classic smooth and chocolatey organic Guatemala coffee from San Martin Jilotepeque, a small coffee growing region nestled in the mountains north of Guatemala City. We tasted rich chocolate and nutty notes when dark roasted.
The small family farms from San Martin Jilotepeque organized under the Asproguate farmer’s association in 2014. Ninety-five percent of members are organic certified so Asproguate holds monthly workshops in organic fertilizers, fungicides, and insecticides so producers can make these essential products on their own farms. The farmers showed Bill how they make a fresh garlic infused organic pesticide that protects the coffee and the environment.
They also train on other agricultural practices like erosion mitigation and shade cover plus social program for women and children in the area. Fifty-five percent of producer members are women.
The coffee is sent to Dinamica Coffee in Guatemala City to be processed and sorted. State if the art mechanical sorters sift out defects and sort by size for an incredibly clean bean that you can taste in the cup.
