Cafe del Valle is a regional blend of coffees from small farmers in the Jalapa region of Guatemala. A beautiful region bustling with wildlife, boasting scattered pine forests over a mountainous landscape, making it unique to other growing regions of Guatemala.
Neighbouring farmers sell their ripest cherries to farmer Marvin Carias, and he combines these with his own crop to process at his wet mill.
In the CO2 decaffeination process, steamed beans are bathed in compressed carbon dioxide. The caffeine is removed from the carbon dioxide through charcoal filtering. The flavour components remain in the bean throughout the process, rather than being soaked out and then reintroduced to the bean.
