Decaf Peru

Summary

Decaf Peru is a single-origin coffee grown in the highlands of Peru's Lamas province. Produced by smallholder farmers associated with the Cooperative Alonso de Alvarado (CAPAA), which represents around 253 farms, many led by women. The coffee is cultivated at 1200-1900 MASL and includes varieties Bourbon, Catimor, Caturra, Typica, and Geisha. It is processed using the Swiss Water Natural Decaf method followed by a washed process, yielding a clean cup with honey-like sweetness, grape acidity, and a smooth finish, with pecan notes and a full-bodied, warming character.
