Decaf

Balboa Park is our signature decaf roast from Mexico. Decaf coffee hasn’t had the best reputation since its start, so we wanted to make sure we sourced a bean that proved any expectations wrong. We roast these beans medium-dark to create a great profile for all decaf coffee lovers. Our Mexico decaf coffee is decaffeinated by the Mountain Water Process. This is a more natural process and leaves all of the flavors in the bean. This is accomplished by soaking the beans in a Green Coffee Extract that naturally strips away the caffeine until it is 99.9% caffeine-free. This is a very similar process to Swiss Water Decaf. Balboa Park is one of the most central areas of San Diego. As home to most of San Diego’s Museums, it is a center of Culture and Arts within the city. It is the perfect place to spend an afternoon drinking coffee.

More Details

Roast Level: Medium Dark
Medium-dark or Vienna roast coffee features a deeper, richer flavor profile due to its longer roasting time. When selecting a Vienna roast, look for a lower acidity, bolder body, and flavors with dark chocolate, caramel, toasted nut notes, and mild smokiness.
Bean Source Country: Mexico
Mexican specialty coffee is marked by its diverse growing regions, rich volcanic soil, and varied microclimates. These coffees often showcase mild acidity, medium body, and a range of flavors, including chocolate, nuts, and subtle fruit notes. Once treated as commodity beans, Mexico's shade-grown Arabica is benefitting from a more nuanced examination of its micro-terrain.
Decaf
Decaffeinated coffee has undergone a process to remove most of the caffeine content while preserving its flavor and aroma. There are three primary decaffeination methods. The solvent-based method involves soaking coffee beans in water to dissolve the caffeine, followed by adding a solvent, such as methylene chloride or ethyl acetate, to bind to the caffeine molecules selectively. The Swiss Water Process (SWP) is a chemical-free method that relies on the principles of solubility and osmosis. Finally, the carbon dioxide method involves using supercritical carbon dioxide to extract caffeine from the coffee beans. Decaf coffee typically retains most of the flavor and aroma of regular coffee but with a significantly reduced caffeine content (around 2-3%).
