For those seeking decaf and wanting something with a bit more of a traditional "Brazil" profile, this is the one! While this region is home to over 2000 coffee farms, the one that produces this varietal in particular still picks every coffee cherry by hand, and then uses a natural drying process, before the crop is sent off to be Swiss Water Processed. 

Important notes regarding decaf:

Decaf contains less carbon dioxide than standard coffee, which means it will not remain at peak freshness for as long. We recommend brewing your decaf within ten days of receiving it. If you're not likely to finish the bag within a week, we suggest placing it in the freezer upon receiving it, and when you're ready to brew, grind the beans directly from frozen. When brewing espresso, you will need to grind finer and pull a shorter shot in terms of ratio and time. When brewing filter coffee, you will want to grind slightly coarser, as the additional fines in decaf can cause filters clogging. Please consult us with any additional questions regarding brewing.
