Decaf Peru, Cajamarca

Cajamarca, Peru

From Lima Farms in the Northern Highlands in Cajamarca, Peru this coffee comes to us by way of the Mountain Water Process; a patented, chemical-free method that uses water and carbon filtration to remove caffeine from the green beans, ensuring minimal impact on the coffee's flavor. Mountain Water works directly with farmers and importers to select higher-grade specialty coffees, so while the world's rarest or most exclusive beans might not go through decaffeination, the quality remains outstanding.

Hot water is used to extract caffeine along with some of the flavor compounds. However, through carbon filtration, the caffeine is removed, and the flavor molecules are reintroduced to the beans, maintaining much of their original character. This allows our decaf from Cajamarca, Peru, to retain its well-balanced profile with rich caramel, pecan, and mild citrus flavors. While there may be a slight impact on flavor, these decaf methods ensure a high-quality cup that’s full of the natural flavors you’d expect from a specialty coffee.
