Decaffeinated Manzanilla

The Jaen region is that of Cajamarca, in north-eastern Peru, in the Quechua region between 2,300 and 3,500 metres above sea level. A very mountainous area, the province of Jaén covers 5,232.57 square kilometres, or 15.4% of the department. The terrain is varied and undulating, due to the marked contrast between the mountain ranges of the Western Andes, known as the "Andes del Chamaya" in this region, and the valleys and rivers Huancabamba and Marañon.

The main economic resource is agriculture, with rice, cocoa, maize and, of course, coffee. The region enjoys one of the best climates of the Peruvian Sierra departments, with a temperate, dry climate that is sunny during the day and cool at night. The average annual temperature is 16°C, with a rainy season from December to March. The main varieties grown here are Typica, Caturra and Bourbon. Jaén coffees are distinguished by their sweetness, their notes of red and yellow fruit and their acidity.
