50% DECAF PERU Las Damas
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.
The coffee underwent washed processing at origin before being shipped to Swiss Water Decaf in Vancouver, Canada, where it is decaffeinated using a 100% chemical-free water process. The resultant coffee is 99.9% caffeine free - a reduction in caffeine of approximately 90%.
50% BRAZIL Palmital
Fazenda Palmital has been in the Rodrigues de Melo family for over a century. Augusto oversees coffee operations today, working alongside a loyal team - many of whom have a generational relationship with the farm. Coffee from three additional family farms is processed here under the same name. Thirty-five percent of the farm is kept as protected forest, and energy needs are met entirely by solar power.
The coffee is a pulped natural. After pulping some mucilage remains on the beans as they are dried on patios with to around 25% moisture before moving to mechanical dryers and brought down to 11% moisture. The dried beans then rest in wooden silos before hulling and storage.
The Art of the Blend
These coffees are roasted individually and then combined after roasting. This allows each coffee to be roasted to it's ideal profile, so it can play its part perfectly in the final blend.
