ORIGIN & VARIETALS

Mexican Richness


The Sokoto Red Bean is a unique decaffeinated blend hailing from the rich coffee regions of Chiapas, Mexico. This blend includes:

Caturra: Known for its full body and bright acidity, Caturra adds a lively dimension to the blend.

Typica: The Typica varietal brings a traditional and balanced profile, contributing to the blend's overall harmony.

Catuai: This varietal is valued for its sweet and rounded flavours, which round out the blend beautifully.

These varietals are expertly combined to create a decaffeinated coffee that maintains the rich flavours characteristic of Mexican coffee.

TASTING NOTES

A Symphony of Flavors


Despite being decaffeinated, the Sokoto Red Bean offers a rich and indulgent flavour profile:

Toffee Sweetness: The primary notes of toffee provide a comforting and familiar sweetness.

Malt and Toasty Nuances: Complementing the toffee are malt and toasty nuances, adding depth and complexity to the coffee.

PROCESSING METHOD

Water Decaffeination


The Sokoto Red Bean undergoes water decaffeination, a gentle process that preserves the coffee's intrinsic flavours:

Preserving Flavors: This method uses water to extract caffeine, ensuring the coffee's natural flavours remain intact.

Non-Chemical Process: Unlike other decaffeination methods, water decaffeination is chemical-free, maintaining the coffee's purity and quality.
