More Information

This Peruvian coffee is grown almost entirely in the provinces of Jaén and San Ignacio. It has two natural regions: mountains and jungle. The latter is home to the coffee growing areas, where the elevation ranges between 900 and 1950 meters. Traversed from south to north by the western Andes, the terrain is relatively rugged.

The Swiss Water Process involves first soaking the coffee in pure water. The resulting green coffee extract is then passed through a carbon filter, specifically engineered to remove the caffeine molecule. The green coffee extract is then introduced to the coffee but without the caffeine. This process is simple in theory, but impressive to execute, since the coffee has to be exactingly dried and preserved to ensure the inherent flavour of the coffee remains relatively unscathed.
