Processing Method
- Manual harvest of ripe cherries
- Flotation to remove defects
- Fermentation for 24 hours
- Washing
- Sun drying on raised beds
- Hulling and Excelso selection
- Hot water immersion
- Addition of natural solvent derived from coffee mucilage
- Secondary soaking and caffeine extraction
- Final washing and slow drying
Ripe coffee cherries are selectively harvested and floated to remove defective fruit. The coffee is then fermented for 24 hours and thoroughly washed, creating a clean washed profile that highlights the inherent character of Typica grown at high elevation.
After drying on traditional raised beds and hulling to Excelso grade, the coffee undergoes Mucilage EA decaffeination. This process uses compounds derived from coffee mucilage to gently remove caffeine while preserving sweetness, acidity, and aromatic clarity.
Mucilage EA Decaf Explained
Mucilage EA decaffeination is a naturally derived method that removes caffeine using compounds sourced from the coffee fruit itself. During processing, coffee mucilage, the sticky layer surrounding the seed, is transformed into a natural solvent that supports caffeine extraction without introducing external chemical agents.
Green coffee is first hydrated using hot water, allowing caffeine to become mobile. The mucilage-derived solvent is then introduced, selectively binding with caffeine molecules while leaving most flavor compounds intact. After extraction, the coffee is thoroughly washed and slowly dried to stabilize the beans.
Because the solvent originates from coffee byproducts, this method emphasizes traceability, resource efficiency, and preservation of origin character. The result is a decaf coffee that maintains structure, sweetness, and clarity while significantly reducing caffeine content.

Notes from 1:5 soup shot. Lime. Apple. Green fruits. Sweet. Juicy. Slight funk. Slight chocolate or roastiness. Not 5 stars because I'm not a fan of the slight funk (compared to the Finca El Paraiso Lychee Peach + Los Nogales Caturra I gave 5 stars to).
I am trying every decaf you offer. I have tried 4 so far and they are excellent. I just ordered 2 more.
Another great coffee from Frequent. This one reminds me of sun tea on a hot summer day, with a Granny Smith finish.
Brewed on the Hario Switch at 190°F, coarse grind, 9 on Ode Gen 2.
Thanks, Daniel. We appreciate you

Thanks, Jaeeun 🙏
Really interesting coffee. Quite strongly acidic (perhaps a bit too much for my liking). Finish is quite creamy despite the acidity, almost like a lime-tea parfait! But it's amazing that decaf can taste like this, glad to have tried this
Hi there! Thanks a lot for the feedback, we really appreciate it.
I tasted more of a banana runts/tropical flavor but it was absolutely delicious
Thank you, we appreciate it 😎
Like getting punched in the face with a Granny Smith apple. Delicious 😋
😂 Thanks, Matt!
I've been on the search for some heavy fruit and funky coffees, and since I've had to cut back on the caffeine recently, I thought I was out of luck getting something that tasted good, that's when I found Frequent and their Los Nogales Typica coffee. I was genuinely surprised that a decaf coffee could taste so great. I will warn this is not for the faint of heart, if you don't know what funky means with coffee, then you might be in for a surprise, but for those in the know? this is it.
Love to hear it 🙌 Thanks William!
when the tasting notes are spot-on <3
you can take this roaster at their word. really excellent products!
Thank you ☺️
Very strong pineapple notes, very sweet and bright acidity.
Thanks, Cade!
