what is mountain water decaf coffee? the best chemical-free decaf for coffee lovers
At The Coffee House, we serve Mountain Water Decaf coffee, a 100% chemical-free option that still delivers the full flavour, just without the caffeine! In this blog post, discover what makes Mountain Water Decaf one of the best decaf coffee options out there and why it’s a favourite amongst caffeine-conscious coffee lovers.
What is Mountain Water Decaf?
Mountain Water Decaf is a premium decaffeination method that uses only pure mountain water and charcoal filtration to remove caffeine from green coffee beans.
The process happens in Mexico using glacial water from Pico de Orizaba, the country’s highest mountain. It results in a decaf that preserves the coffee’s natural flavour, aroma and complexity, without the use of industrial solvents.

How the Mountain Water Process Works
Soaking the Green Beans
Raw, unroasted coffee beans are soaked in hot, pure mountain water. This draws out caffeine, including soluble flavour compounds (like oils and acids) into the water, creating a ‘green coffee extract’.
Filtering Out the Caffeine
The extract is passed through activated charcoal filters, which remove only the caffeine molecules whilst leaving the delicious flavour behind.
Reintroducing the Flavour
A batch of green beans are placed into the caffeine-free, flavour-rich extract. Since the water has already been saturated with the flavour, it draws out only caffeine, preserving the full taste of the beans.
Drying and Exporting
The decaffeinated beans are gently dried and sent over to us for roasting. The final result is a naturally decaffeinated coffee that tastes remarkably close to the original.
