	About the coffee Specialty coffee Blend Mexico Fatima Bio & Mexico Fatima Bio Decaf Notes: Date, Raisins and Caramel Aftertaste: Sweet Process: Mountain Water Process
Why we selected it? The specialty coffee Mexico Fatima Bio Decaf impressed our coffee hunter, Yordan Dabov, with its innovative method of caffeine extraction, while still preserving the strong flavor notes in every drop of coffee.
	Where does it come from: Specialty coffee Mexico Fatima Bio is grown on the family farm of Ernesto Pérez Orrea – Finca Fatima. Ernesto Pérez Orrea’s family has a rich history that goes hand in hand with the history of Mexican coffee. His great-grandfather, Antonio Pérez Galván, was employed as a coffee merchant by the Arbuckle brothers in the late 19th century, mainly because he was fluent in English and Spanish. Antonio had one daughter, Genoveva, who married Antonio Orrea. Together they founded Orea Machines, a company responsible for helping to industrialize the Mexican coffee industry in the 1950s. The two of them acquired Finca Fatima in the 1970s and later bequeathed it to their children – Ernesto and his sister Livet. Ernesto studied in the USA, where he was inspired by the growing popularity of specialty coffee. Through the Coffee Quality Institute (CQI), he became a licensed Q Grader. Ernesto returns to Veracruz to take over the family farm and coffee processing factory. Just one year after returning and focusing on growing specialty coffee, Finca Fatima has been awarded as a top 10 finalist at Mexico’s Cup of Excellence 2019.
Best brew Jordan Dabov recommends brewing this specialty coffee using a filter, cezve, or espresso machine. If you prepare the Mexico Fatima Bio Decaf specialty coffee with a filter, you’ll experience more pronounced caramel notes. If you choose to make an espresso, you’ll enjoy an intense and rich flavor—a combination of all the coffee’s notes.
	Variety and process: The blend contains the same Mexican coffee, but half of the batch was sent to the largest Mexican decaffeination facility. There, the caffeine was removed from the coffee through a water process (Mountain Water Process). The beans come from Finca Fatima and farmer Ernesto Pérez, who won 1st place at the Cup of Excellence in 2024.
About the taste? The flavor is a blend of enticing notes of dates, raisins, and caramel—the sweetness of the coffee lingers long in the aftertaste.
