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.Â

In March of2024, Mocha Joe’s sent then-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 of the art mechanical sorters sift out defects and sort by size for an incredibly clean bean that you can taste in the cup.
Grown on family farms on volcanic Mount Oku, Mocha Joe’s own direct trade project has produced the first ever specialty coffee from the northwest region of Cameroon, Africa. Our Dark Roast Cameroon is a strong dark roast with molasses, syrupy notes mingling with walnut and vanilla.
Through our efforts in Cameroon, we have been able to return thousands of dollars in organic and specialty quality premiums to the farmers and sorters, as well as provide access to capital and infrastructure improvements in the region.
To learn more about the history and future of our direct trade project, see the Cameroon page and check out our Imgur photo albums for 2014 and 2015.

A classic delicious Tarrazu coffee, very well-balanced with high, slightly winey acidity. Roasted dark, we tasted milk chocolate and marzipan in the cup. The dense beans that make up San Marcos lend themselves well to many different styles of roasting. La Minita has grown and exported world class coffee from Costa Rica for decades. Exquisitely sorted for minimal defects and ripe cherries. This Costa Rica coffee has been a crowd pleaser for Mocha Joe’s for many, many years.
