Peru DECAF Coffee; 12oz [FREE SHIPPING]

The Machu Picchu Citadel was built in the 15th Century, and stood as the center of the Incan Empire for both royal and religious reasons. Our label artwork seeks to honor the people and history of Peru. Translated from Quechua, Machu Picchu literally means, "old mountain." Machu Picchu is one of the 7 Wonders of the New World. 

We are excited to be offering a Peruvian coffee, and supporting small farmers in the region. This is an Organic single-origin coffee from Peru. We use the Swiss Water method to decaffeinate it, saving all the rich tastes! We note salted caramel and citrus with a Medium roast and Medium (Drip) grind.
