Product Introduction

This is a decaffeinated coffee made from organically cultivated beans that can be safely enjoyed by pregnant and breastfeeding women, as well as anyone else. It uses 100% forest farmed, organic certified fair trade beans. The caffeine is removed using the "Mountain Water Method" with natural water from Mexico. This method involves soaking raw coffee beans in water saturated with flavor compounds other than caffeine, which creates an environment where only caffeine dissolves out. It is a safe method that does not use chemical agents to remove caffeine. The caffeine removal rate is 99.9%. It retains the flavor and rich aroma of coffee, offering a mild taste.

The raw beans are produced by the Tosepan Cooperative in Mexico, which practices not only organic cultivation but also forest farming (agroforestry).

Stable living through forest farming: Coffee cultivation is often done on large plantations where only coffee is grown, which allows for efficient cultivation of large quantities. However, in times of bad weather or poor harvests, producers lack other crops for self-sufficiency or alternative income, making their livelihoods unstable.

Diagram of forest farming: In forest farmed coffee plantations, various trees are planted alongside coffee. Tall and short trees, grasses, and other plants grow together, creating a diverse forest environment. In such forests, coffee is scattered, making cultivation more labor-intensive, but it also supports the livelihoods of producers. The variety of trees provides many benefits such as food, medicine, timber, fodder, fuel, and resins. Tall trees like allspice provide shade for coffee plants that dislike direct sunlight. Banana leaves decompose into fertilizer. Even when coffee harvests are unstable, forest farmed coffee plantations provide other crops for consumption or sale. Supporting livelihoods through this type of cultivation allows producers to live stably. A rich biodiversity is characterized by the presence of many species of plants, animals, and birds living in the forest. In forest farmed areas, dozens to hundreds of bird species can be observed, whereas in monoculture coffee farms, only a few species are seen.

Biodiverse environments contain natural enemies of pests and other beneficial insects, as well as antagonistic fungi that combat pathogens. As a result, environments are less prone to pest and disease outbreaks, maintaining overall balance, which leads to healthier trees and allows organic cultivation without pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Forest farming has been practiced by indigenous peoples as part of their traditional culture long before coffee was introduced to Central and South America. It is now gaining renewed attention for its role in combating global warming and protecting biodiversity.

?Organic cultivation: Globally, large amounts of pesticides are used to cultivate coffee, which can cause health issues for producers and environmental pollution in production areas. Through organic cultivation without pesticides or chemical fertilizers, we deliver coffee that is safe and安心 for producers, consumers, and nature.
?Fair Trade: All parties—producers, sellers, and consumers—can see each other, and fair transactions at appropriate prices are maintained. Through ongoing trade, we support the improvement and independence of producers’ lives, continuing sustainable production activities that are friendly to people and the environment.
?Forest Farming: Various fruit trees and crops are planted within forests, maintaining existing ecosystems while growing coffee. Fallen leaves and microorganisms enrich the soil, and shade trees protect coffee from direct sunlight. Additionally, forests provide food, fuel, and building materials, offering many benefits beyond coffee.
