Peruvian decaf with a documented process
Bendix Peru Decaf is a medium-roast coffee from Peru, decaffeinated with the Swiss Water Process and identified as Fair Trade Certified. Those facts give customers three useful selection points: origin, roast level and decaffeination method. The listing offers whole bean, ground and coarse-ground formats in several bag sizes.
Swiss Water Process is a water-based decaffeination method. “Decaf” does not mean absolutely caffeine-free, and this listing does not provide a residual-caffeine laboratory value. The process name should not be confused with washed coffee processing at origin; one concerns caffeine removal, while the other describes post-harvest preparation.
The source does not identify a farm, cooperative, cultivar, elevation, harvest date or sensory notes. These details are not borrowed from another Peruvian coffee. Fair Trade Certified is retained as a specific documented certification rather than expanded into unsupported farm-level claims.

Filter and immersion starting recipes
For automatic drip, begin with 30 grams of coffee and 480 grams of filtered water. Use medium-ground coffee or grind whole beans to a medium setting. Water around 198–202°F is a sensible starting point for a medium roast. Confirm that the bed is evenly saturated and taste the cup after it cools slightly.
For pour-over, use 20 grams to 320 grams of water. Bloom with about 60 grams for 30–45 seconds, then add the remaining water in steady pours. Record drawdown, but let sweetness, body, acidity and finish determine the next adjustment. If the cup is thin and sour, grind finer; if it is drying, reduce agitation or grind coarser.
For French press, choose coarse ground or grind whole beans medium-coarse. Start with 30 grams to 500 grams of water and steep four minutes, then let grounds settle and decant. The metal filter increases body compared with paper without changing the coffee itself.
Whole-bean users can pair this coffee with the Turin DF54 grinder for repeatable grind changes. No home roaster is needed because this is finished roasted coffee.
Choosing size and protecting freshness
The available sizes are 12 ounces, one pound and five pounds. Start small when learning the coffee, and choose five pounds only when consumption is high enough to keep a larger bag aromatic. Whole bean provides the most flexibility; medium ground suits many drip brewers, while coarse is intended for immersion methods.
Keep coffee sealed away from heat, moisture and direct light. Degassing continues after roasting, so bloom and flow can change as the bag rests. Follow any roast date or Bendix guidance on the package instead of assuming a universal rest window.

Frequently asked questions
Is Swiss Water Process the same as washed processing?
No. Swiss Water Process removes caffeine. Washed processing refers to how harvested coffee fruit is removed before drying.
Is this completely caffeine-free?
Decaf coffee can retain a small amount of caffeine. A precise laboratory value is not provided for this product.
Is it Fair Trade Certified?
Yes. That certification is stated in the supplied product information.
What roast level is it?
Medium roast is documented.
Which size should I try first?
A 12-ounce bag is practical for an initial evaluation before committing to a larger format.
Are tasting notes available?
No specific tasting notes are supplied, so none have been assigned.
