San Martin Dulce: Swiss Water Decaf, Peru

Grown in the lush highlands of San Martin, Peru, this exceptional decaffeinated coffee comes from a cooperative of smallholder farms nestled along the eastern slopes of the Andes at elevations around 5,400 feet. The region’s rich biodiversity—where old-growth forests meet misty cloud forests—creates an ideal environment for cultivating vibrant, high-quality coffee. Fertile soils and a deep-rooted farming tradition make San Martín one of Peru’s most important coffee-producing regions.

Certified organic and carefully decaffeinated using the Swiss Water Process, this coffee retains its natural character without the use of chemicals, preserving the integrity of the bean from farm to cup.

In the cup, this decaf offers a silky-smooth mouthfeel with comforting chocolate and cocoa notes and a gentle, rounded sweetness. Clean, balanced, and satisfying, it’s a perfect choice for those seeking a flavorful coffee experience—any time of day.

Decaffeination 

We've chosen Swiss Water's innovative decaffeination process because it delivers what matters most: exceptional flavor without compromise. This chemical-free method works by gently hydrating green beans to capture their natural flavor essence before selectively removing caffeine through Swiss Water's patented water-based technology. The extracted flavors are then carefully reintroduced, ensuring you experience the full complexity and richness of the original coffee. The result is a decaf that doesn't taste like a decaf—it tastes like an exceptional specialty-grade coffee, with every soluble flavor compound intact.

Flavor Profile

Get ready for a treat—this cup opens with silky-smooth chocolate that gently coats the palate, followed by a soft, lingering sweetness that never overwhelms. There’s a quiet elegance here, the kind that makes each sip feel comforting yet refined. This Peruvian decaf delivers the richness you crave, with a clean, balanced finish that keeps you coming back for more.

Brew Recommendations

We've dialed in the perfect brewing recipe for light and medium roast levels. Start with our standard 10g per 150ml baseline, then fine-tune based on your roast preference. Going for the light roast? Reduce the dose to 9g and grind a touch finer to coax out the chocolatey and silky mouthfeel. Prefer medium roast? Stick with the standard dose but grind finer to balance the chocolate, cocoa,  and citrus flavors, you will be rewarded with a thicker body and richer chocolatey finish.
