A Mountain Water Process decaf that wows! Royal Select Mountain Water Processed Decaf coffee is sourced from lots that the Royal team has selected based on cupping evaluations. After selection, the green coffee is pre-soaked in water to expand the beans for caffeine extraction. Unlike decaffeination processes that use chemicals, the beans are then introduced to a solution concentrated with coffee solubles that extract the caffeine without extracting the coffee’s particular flavor.
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.

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.

Though great as a drip coffee, Blend 56 was developed especially for use as espresso or a base in espresso blends. La Minita combines natural and semi-washed coffees from select fazendas in the Cerrado region to make up the desired profile. The end result is a blend that is balanced and sweet, with fresh noticeable acidity, flavor nuances of clean berries and fruits, and a thick creamy body. Blend 56 shines in espresso preparation; it exhibits a flavor balance between punchy fruit and chewy nut, produces great crema, and has super long, lingering sweetness.
This coffee comes from Comon Yaj Noptic Cooperative – El Triunfo Biosphere Reserve in Chiapas, Mexico. Fair Trade and Organic Certified, we tasted chocolate, almond and allspice notes in this dark roasted beauty.
