From the lush hills of Jinotega, Nicaragua, this single-origin decaf coffee carries the craftsmanship of Gold Mountain Coffee Growers, a farmer-focused collective known for traceability and exceptional post-harvest care. Each lot is meticulously carbonic-macerated and double-fermented before decaffeination through the Swiss Water® Process, a method that gently removes caffeine, using only water, temperature, and time.
The result? A cup that bursts with layered sweetness and fruit intensity. Think Concord grape, blackberry jam, and melted chocolate swirling in perfect balance. Syrupy and round, yet clean enough to reveal its origin character, Elixir defies everything you thought you knew about decaf.

How to Brew
Grind fresh before brewing. This decaf shines in pour-over (V60) and immersion methods like the French Press or AeroPress. Use slightly hotter water (about 205°F / 96°C) to coax out its chocolate and grape-jam sweetness. We personally like a little extra extraction on this one.
