DECAF PERU Las Damas

This carefully crafted decaf coffee is grown by Las Damas - a group of women producers within the COOPAFSI cooperative in the Peruvian highlands. Swiss Water Process Decaf Cooperative: Agraria Frontera San Ignacio Variety: Bourbon, Caturra and others Process: Washed Region: Cajamarca Elevation: 1100 - 2000m Harvest: May-October 2025 COOPAFSI is a well-established cooperative bringing together over 400 smallholder Arabica producers across the San Ignacio region of northern Peru. In 2012, a group of women farmers within the cooperative formed "Las Damas" - strengthening their collective voice and creating a more visible role for women producers within the wider organisation. Grown at elevations between 1100–2000 metres in Cajamarca, the coffee is organically farmed, selectively hand-picked and processed using a traditional washed method - producing the clean cup profile this region is known for. From Peru, the dried coffee was shipped to Swiss Water in Vancouver, Canada, where it was decaffeinated using their 100% chemical-free water process. Decaffeinated in January 2026, it arrives to us fresh and 99.9% caffeine free. Brewing Tip - Cafetiere We've been enjoying this coffee with a slightly higher dose than usual.
