Our Peru Decaf comes from the Jaen and Cajamarca regions. The coffee is a high-quality Fair-
Trade Organic and decaffeinated using an organic water process. This is done in a facility in
Mexico called Descamex. In order to remove the caffeine in this process, green coffee is soaked
in a water solution, which removes both the caffeine as well as other solubles in the coffee
(flavor compounds, for instance). The water is removed from the seeds and run through a
special filter that captures caffeine molecules and allows them to be strained from the solution.
The solution—now containing flavor compounds but no caffeine—is then reintroduced to the
green coffee seeds, which reabsorb the soluble materials. The coffee is then dried once more,
and prepared for reexport. The Cup: Mild Kahlua and graham flavors with good acidity and
mellow sweetness.
