Sierra Nocturna Decaf, Mexico

The Origin Story

Sierra Nocturna is grown by smallholder farmers across the Chiapas Turquesa region of southern Mexico. These families cultivate Bourbon, Caturra, Typica, and Catuaí varietals on modest plots, passing down techniques refined over generations. Their cherries are delivered to the buying stations of San Cristóbal de las Casas and Yajalón, where community networks link remote farmers to the wider specialty coffee market.

Set at roughly 1,000 meters along the slopes of Chiapas’ northern highlands, the region is defined by volcanic soils and lush mountain forests fed by glacial springs. While this altitude is lower than some of Mexico’s highest farms, it yields larger beans with a smooth, low‑acidity profile, distinct to this part of the coffee belt.

This coffee is decaffeinated using the Mountain Water Process, which draws pure water from Mexico’s tallest peak to gently remove 99.9% of caffeine without chemicals. The process preserves the character of the beans — mellow, balanced, and quietly expressive of their Chiapas origin.

Velho Camino - 250g / Wholebean

Just the smell when I opened the bag had me drooling, and the finished cup was the most delicious coffee I have had in years, and certainly the best I've ever made at home.

Vale Roam - 250g / Filter

I'm on my second single origin purchase now and they have both been delicious. Aeropress grind has been spot on, but I will probably get whole beans next so I have more options in grinding myself. Overall, amazing coffee, quick delivery and I can highly recommend.
