Delicate, sweet, and full of character—that's STARLIGHT DECAF from Mexico, a decaffeinated coffee from the Belgian roaster Boo!. The cup combines notes of orange marmalade, crunchy almond cookies, and delicate milk chocolate, which together create a harmonious and rich flavor profile. The result is a cup with a pleasant sweetness, full body, and elegant aftertaste reminiscent of a sweet dessert – ideal for anyone who wants to enjoy a premium coffee without caffeine.
This coffee comes from the Jaltenango region of Chiapas, where a group of 65 local women producers associated with the La Tribu project grow coffee trees with the utmost respect for the soil and the community. The altitude of 1650–1800 m above sea level provides the ideal climate for the slow ripening of the cherries, which guarantees a full aromatic profile and sweetness in the cup. The Peñazco and Bourbon varieties used here are prized for their delicate fruity acidity, harmonious sweetness, and rich flavor, which stands out even after decaffeination.
The Mountain Water Decaf method preserves the natural complexity of the beans without the use of chemicals. The beans are carefully soaked and filtered to remove the caffeine while retaining the fruity, sweet, and chocolatey notes. The result is a cup that does not taste watered down, but offers a full-bodied taste experience. STARLIGHT DECAF is proof that even without caffeine, it is possible to create a coffee full of character, harmony, and delicate sweetness that will delight every lover of quality beans.
