The people behind the coffee

Hinter unserem Nachtgold Decaf steht nicht irgendein anonymer Rohkaffee, sondern die Arbeit von Jorge Arreola Nava aus der Region Motozintla in Chiapas, Mexiko.

Gemeinsam mit lokalen Produzenten entwickelt er Kaffees, die sowohl qualitativ überzeugen als auch unter stabilen, nachhaltigen Bedingungen angebaut werden. Dabei entsteht eine sorgfältig abgestimmte Varietätenmischung aus Typica, Caturra, Marsellesa und Costa Rica 95 – angepasst an die klimatischen Bedingungen der Region.

Der Kaffee wächst auf Höhenlagen zwischen 1200 und 1320 Metern im Schatten von Inga-Bäumen. Diese Form des Anbaus schützt die Pflanzen, fördert die Biodiversität und sorgt für eine langsame Reifung der Kaffeekirschen – ein entscheidender Faktor für die spätere Aromatik in der Tasse.

Die Region Chiapas gehört zu den wichtigsten Kaffeeanbaugebieten Mexikos und steht für eine außergewöhnliche Vielfalt. Neben Kaffee werden hier auch Kakao, Honig, Mais und tropische Früchte angebaut. Viele Farmen sind familiengeführt und eng mit den lokalen Gemeinschaften verbunden – darunter indigene Gruppen wie die Maya, Tseltal oder Tzotzil.

Was diesen Kaffee besonders macht: Er wird direkt in Mexiko entkoffeiniert – durch die Firma Descamex. Nach aktuellem Stand ist sie das einzige Unternehmen im Land, das Kaffee ausschließlich mit Wasser entkoffeiniert.

Beim sogenannten Mountain Water Process werden die Bohnen zunächst mit Dampf vorbereitet, anschließend in Wasser gelöst und gefiltert, um das Koffein zu entfernen. Danach werden sie schonend getrocknet und gereinigt. Der große Vorteil: Die natürlichen Aromen bleiben weitgehend erhalten – ganz ohne chemische Lösungsmittel.

So entsteht ein entkoffeinierter Kaffee, der nicht nur verträglich ist, sondern geschmacklich überzeugt – und gleichzeitig eine klare Herkunft hat.

Flavor Profile: Fruity-sweet, mild, lively

In the cup, Mondgold reveals a fresh, pleasantly sweet profile with notes of sugarcane, hazelnut, and delicate milk chocolate , complemented by dried fruits and a lively citrus note.
The acidity is mild and harmoniously integrated , the body soft and round – ideal black, with milk, or as a gentle espresso.

In short: A decaf that doesn't “ sacrifice ” , but rather surprises.

Roasting

Our coffee beans are gently roasted at 210 °C for about 13–16 minutes, resulting in a medium roast that perfectly brings out the fine aromas. Unlike large roasteries that produce darker beans at higher temperatures and shorter times, our method preserves a balanced, delicate flavor that you can taste immediately.

Portafilter

Grind size: Fine (depending on grinder)

Recipe: Double shot

  1. Use 16-20 g of freshly ground coffee depending on the basket.
  2. Use the DWT tool (Dosing & Weighing Technique) to gently loosen the coffee grounds before tamping. This ensures an even extraction.
  3. Tamp the coffee evenly and firmly in the portafilter.
  4. Pull a double espresso (approx. 25-30 seconds extraction time).
  5. For our Omniroast we recommend a brew ratio of about 1:5 to 1:2.5. That means if you use, for example, 18 grams of coffee grounds, you should have about 36 to 45 grams of espresso in your cup. This ratio ensures a balanced extraction of flavors, allowing the full taste of your high-quality beans to come through.
  6. Enjoy it black or as the base for your milk drink.
Moka pot

Grind size: Medium-fine (depending on grinder)

Recipe:

  1. Fill the lower chamber with water up to the safety valve.
  2. Use 15-18 g of ground coffee in the filter basket.
  3. Assemble the pot and place it on the stove over medium heat.
  4. When the coffee starts to gurgle and rise, remove the pot from the heat and let the coffee rest briefly.
Filter coffee

Our Omni Roasts are also perfect for those who love the full, balanced aroma of the beans and want to prepare a filter coffee from them. With these preparation instructions every cup becomes a moment of enjoyment!

  2. Wet the filter and discard the water.
  3. Start with a bloom, pour 50 ml of water first and wait 30 seconds.
  4. Then pour the remaining water slowly and evenly in circular motions.
