Viewfinder - Decaf

Nestled in the Sierra Madre mountains, the Chiapas region of Mexico is renowned for its fertile soils and ideal coffee-growing microclimate. This area shares similar conditions to the celebrated Huehuetenango region just across the border in Guatemala, with high elevations, consistent rainfall, and mineral-rich volcanic soils. These elements come together to create coffee with a balanced sweetness, bright acidity, and smooth body.
The unique environment in Frontera, Chiapas, lends a distinctive character to the beans, producing rich flavours and complexity that shine through even in decaffeinated form.

The coffee in Viewfinder comes from a collective of smallholder farms in the Chiapas region, where generations of farmers have cultivated Typica and Bourbon varietals with care and tradition. Each farmer contributes to the region’s unique coffee culture, producing beans that reflect the rich biodiversity and volcanic soils of the Sierra Madre mountains.
Once harvested, these beans undergo the Mountain Water Process, a natural decaffeination method pioneered in Mexico. This chemical-free process uses pure mountain water from Pico de Orizaba to gently remove caffeine while preserving the coffee’s inherent flavours. The result is a decaf that honours the farmers’ dedication to quality, bringing you a smooth, full-bodied cup with all the depth of a traditional coffee.
