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.

The Swiss Water Decaffeination Process

  • 1. Soaking

    The raw coffee is soaked to expand the beans in preparation for decaffeination.

  • 2. Green Coffee Extract

    The coffee is added to a liquid Green Coffee Extract (GCE). This is pure water + all water soluble solids in coffee, except for caffeine.

  • 3. Diffusion

    The imbalance in caffeine between the coffee and the GCE causes caffeine to migrate from the beans to the GCE.

  • 4. Dried and Bagged

    When the coffee is 99.9% caffeine free, it is dried and bagged ready for shipping.

Freshly Roasted

We roast on Tuesdays and Thursdays and dispatch the following day.
