We took a chance on Pangoa, a small coop on the Amazonian slopes of Central Peru back in 2003, being their first Fair Trade and Direct buyer. Since then, we have introduced this coffee to the specialty marketplace, and the sweet, soft beans prepared so well by indigenous Ashaninkas farmers have been in great demand in America and in Europe. We continue to enjoy the best of their crop in return for our long-term commitment.

Pangoa and Dean�s Beans have collaborated on the creation of many meaningful and successful initiatives together over the years. The coop has used our premiums, profit shares and development monies to create women�s loan funds, a great reforestation program, a honey project for income diversification, college education funds and more!

Peru is the forgotten child of the specialty coffee world. It is a huge country, so much so that the growing seasons differ by a month or so even within the same country. Peruvian coffees are notable for their mildness and sweetness, even though they are grown at really high altitudes on the Amazonian slopes of the Andes. They are better in a light roast than a dark roast, as the flavor and mild acidity roast away quickly. But a soft, sweet Peru is a subtle charm and can really be appreciated if you take your time with it. One of the most easily drinkable coffees black. Wonderful coffees come from Chanchamayo, Pangoa, and Lamas.

Best Decaf Ever

I've been in love with this decaf since the first cup I brewed about 6 yrs. ago. It has such a full body, great aroma, but what I like mostly is the low acidity... it's easy on my stomach! I enjoy hand grinding 1 or 2 days worth of beans and appreciate the freshness of each cup. And I know I'm good for the growers and our planet- Thanks to Dean and his Team!!!

Thanks Fred! We're glad you like it :)

Amazing

I went to order Thunder mug decaf for my husband and didn’t see it so I figured I would get him the Peruvian French Roast…it’s so delicious I started drinking it with a scoop of Italian espresso roast…best cup of coffee ever…and now I can drink more.

Simply the Best

The other five star rating I just read says it all...Simply the Best. We have been avid coffee fans for years, but have recently found ourselves having to switch to decaf. After trying quite a few decaf beans at our local Common Market, we happened upon this. Simply the best coffee of any coffee we have ever had decaf or otherwise. I'm enjoying a cup right now while I'm typing this review and ordering some more beans! Thank you Dean's Beans.

Our go-to Decaf

Simply the best decaf we have found anywhere. When we realized that we had to cut back on the caffeinated stuff the search was on for something that maintained the smooth taste, and this is simply some of the best coffee we have ever had, caffeinated or not. Thank you for bringing this remarkable coffee to us!
