Origin Story
Cooperativa de Producción Tzeltal-Tzotzil
The current version of Decaf Shakeout is made entirely from coffee sourced from family-owned farms organized under the Cooperativa de Producción Tzeltal-Tzotzil, a group operating across 26 Indigenous communities in the northern region of Chiapas, Mexico. Producers use their own micro-mills to process harvested cherries, allowing for meticulous care during depulping, fermentation, and drying. The coffee is cultivated on small farms, averaging less than 10 acres in size.
In addition to coffee, members of Tzeltal-Tzotzil also produce approximately 80 tons of honey. The cooperative is committed to organic practices that protect the environment and to producing high-quality coffee, helping members earn higher incomes and improve their families' livelihoods.
Like all decaf coffee at Equator, Decaf Shakeout is decaffeinated using the water process method. This chemical-free technique preserves much of the coffee’s natural flavor, resulting in a rich and flavorful decaffeinated brew.

Why We Love This Coffee
Decaf Shakeout is our certified Fair Trade and Organic decaffeinated coffee. Our Decaf Shakeout tradition is to select in-season, freshly decaffeinated coffee from Latin America, but over the course of the year we may blend in an additional coffee to evolve the flavor seasonally.
The name Shakeout was inspired by the running community. A shakeout run is an easy run that is done as a warmup before a longer race but can also be done the day after a long run or simply to break up a series of strenuous training days. Whether you drink decaf regularly or only on occasion to shakeout the caffeine out of your system, you’ll be sure to enjoy this coffee.
