Details

This Mountain Water Process decaf from smallholders in Cajamarca, Peru, is a round medium-dark roast with notes of semi-sweet chocolate, toasted almond, and dried cherry.

The Mountain Water Process involves soaking green coffee in a water solution, which removes both the caffeine as well as other solubles from the coffee (flavor compounds, for instance). The water is removed from the seeds and run through a special filter that captures caffeine molecules and allows them to be strained from the solution. The solution—now containing flavor compounds but no caffeine—is then reintroduced to the green coffee seeds, which reabsorb the soluble materials. The coffee is then dried once more, and prepared for export.

Produced by Pour Ta Coffee in Laramie, Wyoming.

This decaf from Peru's Cajamarca region arrives via PT's Coffee Roasting as a ready-to-brew pour over pouch. Sourced from Pour Ta Coffee, the lot employs the Mountain Water Process—a chemical-free decaffeination method detailed in our processing guide—to preserve origin character while reducing caffeine content.

The roaster identifies semi-sweet chocolate, toasted almond, and dried cherry in the cup, suggesting a balanced profile that avoids the flatness sometimes associated with decaf. These flavor markers, mapped on our sensory wheel, indicate both comforting roasted depth and subtle fruit presence. The pouch format prioritizes convenience without sacrificing the care invested in the bean's journey from Peruvian highlands to cup.
