If it weren’t for the name you’d never know what’s missing. Grown in the southern reaches of Mexico, our Fair Trade Huatusco Decaf offers brisk, lime-citrus acidity, and sweet notes of sugar cane and agave nectar. Its finish is engaging, vanilla-toned and sparkling clean. A balanced and versatile coffee that performs well in auto-drip brewers, or manual-drip (pour-over filter cone or Chemex). Exceptional in a coffee press and vacuum pot. The Unión Regional de Pequeños Productores de Café Huatusco was formed in 1992 by a group of small-scale family farmers who decided to take responsibility for lifting their community out of the extreme poverty they faced. Their success has been remarkable, and today the coop boasts more than 1,908 small farmers among its members, including 600 women. The increased revenue that Fair Trade and Organic coffee provides the farmers in this coop has enabled them to establish education facilities in rural areas, and build regional healthcare centers for several villages. Ecologically-minded, they've also used Fair Trade revenues to fund a reforestation program, while training their members in shade-tree cultivation and terracing, and to improve and expand their organic program, which now includes nearly 500 of its member farmers. The coop, known to us simply as ''Huatusco'', also hosts 13 Green Mountain Coffee and Keurig, Inc. employees every year in January for a few days of coffee tasting, cherry picking and friendship. Each year, Green Mountain Coffee and Keurig send 3 groups on Origin Trips. One goes to Mexico, one goes to Nicaragua and the other goes to Guatemala. To date, about 20% of our employees have been on these invaluable trips. Outstanding Decaf By Markbojava from Raleigh, NC on 1/20/2008 Pros:High Quality Bottom Line:Yes, I would recommend this to a friend I don't usually drink a decaf coffee. As a matter of fact I always thought that decaf meant less flavor. I'm not sure if that is usually the case or if I had a bad coffee before but this coffee suprised me considerably. I have been trying many different coffee's lately because I recieved a k-cup coffee maker for x-mas. I use the my k-cup when I have a coffee that is not in k-cups that I wish to drink. I found this decaf in our local grocery store. They just started carrying it and was also on sale. I have been wanting to try a decaf for night drinking. This was perfect. I brew it in the smaller cup sizes for strength. I is a nice medium cup when brewed this way as I like a dark cup of coffee. I would recommend this to anyone who does not want the caffine in their diet. I was very suprised at the quality and taste.. Good going GMCR. Only $10.84 - Click here to buy now! |
