Peru Single Origin Decaf- Medium Roast

Swiss Water Process is 100% chemical-free, using only water, time, and temperature to remove 99.9% of caffeine while preserving flavor compounds. Unlike chemical methods that use methylene chloride or ethyl acetate, Swiss Water Process leaves no chemical residues and better maintains the coffee's original taste profile. The Green Coffee Extract used is made from natural compounds found in coffee beans themselves, making it environmentally friendly and completely safe while delivering superior flavor preservation.

The Swiss Water Process preserves approximately 99% of the original flavor compounds, so this decaf maintains the characteristic salted caramel, sweet citrus, dark chocolate, and almond notes of the regular JUMARP coffee. The heavy body and mellow acidity remain intact, though some subtle nuances may be slightly diminished. Most coffee lovers find the flavor remarkably close to the original, making it an excellent choice for evening consumption or caffeine-sensitive individuals who don't want to compromise on taste.

Swiss Water Process removes 99.9% of caffeine, leaving only trace amounts (typically 0.1% or less). This means a cup of this decaf contains approximately 2-5mg of caffeine compared to 80-100mg in regular coffee. This minimal amount is considered safe for even highly caffeine-sensitive individuals and won't interfere with sleep or cause jitters. The trace amounts are naturally occurring and cannot be completely eliminated without destroying flavor compounds.

Yes, Swiss Water Process is significantly more environmentally responsible than chemical decaffeination. It uses no harmful chemicals, produces no toxic waste, and the water used in the process is recycled. The carbon filters that remove caffeine can be regenerated, and the removed caffeine is often sold to pharmaceutical and beverage companies, creating a zero-waste cycle. Combined with JUMARP's organic and forest-integrated farming practices, this creates a truly sustainable decaf coffee option.

Absolutely! Swiss Water Process preserves the bean structure and flavor oils, so you can use the same brewing methods, ratios, and techniques as regular coffee. The heavy body and balanced profile work well across all brewing methods. Some coffee lovers prefer slightly longer extraction times or marginally higher coffee-to-water ratios to maximize flavor extraction, but the differences are minimal. The preserved oils and compounds ensure consistent brewing behavior.

Heavy body refers to the substantial mouthfeel and richness that makes this coffee feel full and satisfying in your mouth. JUMARP's high-altitude Amazonian growing conditions and clay mineral soils naturally create dense beans with rich oils and compounds. The Swiss Water Process preserves these characteristics, maintaining the substantial texture that makes this coffee feel as satisfying as its caffeinated counterpart. This heavy body is particularly noticeable in French press or espresso brewing methods.

Yes, this Peru decaf is ideal for people with coffee sensitivity issues. The naturally mellow acidity from the Amazonian growing conditions, combined with the Swiss Water Process which doesn't add any harsh chemicals, creates a very gentle coffee. The heavy body and smooth character, plus the absence of caffeine (which can increase stomach acid production), make this an excellent choice for those who love coffee but experience digestive discomfort with regular coffee or chemical-processed decaf.

Yes! With only 2-5mg of caffeine per cup (compared to 80-100mg in regular coffee), this decaf won't interfere with sleep patterns for most people. The trace caffeine amounts are similar to what's naturally found in chocolate. Many coffee lovers enjoy this as their "evening coffee" - providing the ritual, flavor, and satisfaction of coffee without the sleep-disrupting effects of caffeine. The preserved flavor profile means you don't have to compromise on taste for your after-dinner coffee moment.

Store this decaf exactly like regular coffee - in an airtight container away from light, heat, and moisture. The Swiss Water Process preserves the volatile flavor compounds and oils, so proper storage is crucial for maintaining the salted caramel, chocolate, and almond notes. Whole beans stay fresh longer than ground coffee. The preserve
