We've had it with decaf coffees that taste like something other than coffee! Our decaf Peru is the decaffeinated version of our popular Organic Timor with just a slightly bolder profile with a heavier body.
~
Most coffee companies use toxic chemicals to decaffeinate their beans. In fact, if you don't see the natural process on your bag of decaf beans, odds are they are done the easy way, with similar chemicals to those used in nail polish and paint thinner! Chemicals we can hardly spell, let alone pronounce.
~
Our Decaf is decaffeinated using a Mountain Water Process. Water Process Decaffeination is a unique, natural process; using only clear, pure water.
~
In the decaffeinating Mountain Water Process, the green coffee beans are immersed in water in order to extract the caffeine. The water contains the soluble components of the coffee beans which holds the elements of the flavor, so that, during the extraction of the caffeine the beans maintain their original components.
~
To separate the caffeine from the water containing the soluble components, the water passes through a special filter that removes the caffeine. This results in “coffee solid solubles charged water” saturated with the flavor components but free of caffeine, which is used again in the extraction process.
`
As a result of this process, we obtain coffee beans that are 99.9% caffeine-free. Once the decaffeination process is finished, the beans are dried and packed, and ready to export.

FARM INFO
The Cooperativa Cafe Timor (CCT) works with very small farms in East Timor; most land owners own less than a hectare of land.
The CCT was established in 1994 with the help of the USDA and NCBA. and in 2001, the cooperative obtained Fair Trade
certification. The farms are located in Maubesse, an area of high altitude and a sub-district in the Ainaro district; Atsabe, in the
Ermera district; the Lequisa district; and the Aifu region. The coffee from East Timor was originally planted over 400 years ago
by Portuguese colonists. However, after an epidemic of coffee leaf rust, the replanting of plants occurred and led to the creation
of a new coffee varietal of Hibrido de Timor.
