Peruvian Bliss: Sip Sweetly, Sleep Soundly – Bold Flavours without Caffeine
Getting to know Café Amazonas Decaf from Peru
Café Amazonas Decaf offers coffee enthusiasts the opportunity to enjoy a specialty coffee without caffeine, and without sacrificing flavour. This single-origin coffee, sourced from the renowned Amazonas region of Peru, is a perfect example of a well-balanced, rich decaf brew. What sets this decaffeinated coffee apart is its organic certification, Fairtrade status, and Grade 1 quality. Coffee lovers seeking a decaffeinated option with full-bodied sweetness and complexity will find Café Amazonas Decaf a delightful choice.
1. The Origins of Café Amazonas
The Amazonas region of Peru is known for producing some of the finest coffees in the world. Grown at an altitude of 1,350+ metres, the coffee thrives in a mountainous terrain where cooler temperatures and nutrient-rich soil contribute to its distinct characteristics. These high-altitude conditions slow down the growth of the coffee beans, allowing them more time to develop complex sugars and deeper flavours.
The region’s diverse ecosystem also benefits from the organic farming practices employed by the coffee producers, who are committed to sustainable and environmentally-friendly cultivation methods. The farmers, from various smallholder communities, are highly skilled and adhere to Grade 1 standards, ensuring only the best beans are selected. Their dedication to quality is further evident in the coffee’s Fairtrade certification, which guarantees fair wages and ethical working conditions for the producers, while also promoting environmental sustainability.
2. Variety and Processing Methods
Our Café Amazonas Decaf is made from a blend of various coffee varieties, each contributing its own unique elements to the overall flavour. This diversity results in a coffee that is both rich and multifaceted, offering a broad spectrum of tasting notes. While some single-origin coffees rely on a single variety for consistency, the variety here allows for more complexity.
The washed process, commonly used in high-quality coffee production, plays a crucial role in the clean, bright taste of this decaf. In this method, the coffee cherries are fermented to remove the mucilage before being thoroughly washed. This process highlights the coffee’s natural acidity and clarity, ensuring a refreshing taste. Following the washing, the beans undergo the CO² decaffeination process, which is a gentle and natural way of removing caffeine without altering the bean’s inherent flavour.
3. Understanding the CO2 Decaf Process
The CO² Decaf process is an innovative decaffeination method that utilises pressurised carbon dioxide to extract caffeine from the beans. Unlike chemical-based methods, which can strip coffee of its natural flavours, the CO² process is a more natural and environmentally friendly approach. It begins with green coffee beans being soaked in water to open up their structure. Then, carbon dioxide, under high pressure, is passed through the beans, selectively binding to the caffeine molecules and pulling them out while leaving the flavour compounds intact.
This process is favoured because carbon dioxide is a naturally occurring substance, present in the air we breathe, and poses no health risks. As the caffeine is extracted, the coffee retains its full taste profile, making this method particularly appealing to those who want a decaf option without compromising on flavour.
4. Flavour Profile: Sweetness and Balance
Our Café Amazonas Decaf surprises with its sweet, well-rounded flavour profile. One of the most prominent tasting notes is brown sugar, which provides a comforting sweetness that lingers. This is complemented by a subtle but distinct sugar cane note, adding a touch of brightness and complexity to the coffee.
Adding to the depth are notes of maroon and maple syrup, which introduce a richer, more luxurious feel. The maroon brings a hint of berry-like acidity, while the maple syrup offers a smooth, velvety texture that rounds out the experience.
