Decaf, Peru, Cerro Blanco, Natural, Water Process

This decaf is made up of coffee from Cerro Blanco Producers Association (APROCEB) in La Victoria Peru. It was founded by the local community as a way of organizing coffee farmers around shared goals of increased market access, and in turn maximizing reinvestment in their community. Through the years they've expanded on those core ideals, training members in organic coffee production, providing technical and financial assistance, and creating opportunity through eduction advancement and programs, with a commitment to environmental sustainability. The coffee that went into this lot was dry process, meaning the whole coffee cherries were dried with the seeds still intact. The farms span an altitude range of 1500 and 1900 meters above sea level. For decaffeination, it was processed by Swiss Water Decaf in Vancouver, Canada. Their patented process method uses only water to remove 99.9% of the caffeine, while leaving much of the volatile compounds that affect flavor and aroma intact.
