Laird Superfood Peruvian Medium Roast Decaffeinated Ground Coffee — Swiss Water Process, 12 oz

Laird Superfood Peruvian Medium Roast Decaffeinated Ground Coffee is a Swiss Water processed, chemical-free decaf made from high-altitude Arabica beans for a rich, origin-forward cup.

Experience a decaffeinated coffee that emphasizes bean character rather than masking it. Laird Superfood selects Peruvian Arabica beans grown above 4,000 feet, slow-roasts them in small batches, and removes caffeine using the Swiss Water Process to preserve flavor while eliminating up to 99.9% of caffeine. The result is a medium-roast ground coffee that delivers bright, floral notes and a clean finish without chemical residues.

What makes this decaf taste like regular coffee?

The flavor comes from careful sourcing and gentle processing: high-altitude Arabica beans develop concentrated, complex flavors, and slow, small-batch roasting preserves those nuances. The Swiss Water Process decaffeinates using only water, temperature, and time, which maintains much of the bean’s origin profile compared with chemical methods.

• Peruvian Arabica beans grown at 4,000+ feet for concentrated flavor
• Small-batch drum roasting to protect aromatic compounds
• Swiss Water Process: chemical-free decaffeination retaining bean character

How is the coffee decaffeinated and why does that matter?

Decaffeination uses the Swiss Water Process, a solvent-free method that relies on water and controlled temperature to remove caffeine. This approach avoids chemical solvents, leaving behind oils and soluble compounds that contribute to aroma and taste, so the cup tastes fuller and truer to the bean’s origin.

• Removes up to 99.9% of caffeine without solvents
• Preserves flavor-contributing oils and aromatics
• Suitable for those seeking decaf without chemical exposure

How should I brew this ground coffee for best results?

Because it is medium-roast and pre-ground, this coffee is versatile across common brewing methods. Use a standard drip brewer, pour-over, or a French press; adjust grind and brew time if you prefer a stronger or lighter cup. Fresh water and correct coffee-to-water ratio will highlight the floral and bright notes.

• Recommended ratio: 1 to 2 tablespoons per 6 ounces of water, adjust to taste
• Drip or pour-over for clarity; French press for fuller body
• Use filtered water heated to about 195–205°F for best extraction
