To Caff or not to Caff, that is THE question???
At James’ Gourmet Decaf is important to us, it’s more than just 4% of our coffee! If we do something with coffee, we like to do it as well as we think it can be done. If you are a JG decaf drinker, you may know that we like to change things around and this is our sixth (?), so far in 2019. This lot we have bought a bit more of, so we all have a bit more continuity.

Farm Info
This lot is made up of seven farms, in Huehuetenango that work with our mill owners. The coffees that are picked for decaffeination are still decent coffees, but not as high scoring as our single estates from the region. We are talking fresh crop coffee, just harvested, shipped, blended and decaffeinated.
