The Los Nogales Low-Caff process, developed by Oscar and Angie Hernández, is one of the most technically innovative coffee decaffeination methods currently used. This method reduces caffeine right at the farm, using natural substances from the coffee cherries itself to remove between 75–97% of the caffeine. What makes it different from typical decaf coffee is that everything needed for the process comes from the same coffee harvest, making it a more self-contained and farm-based approach.

What if my package is delayed?

Sometimes our shipping partners experience delays due to weather, heightened demand, technical issues, pandemics, or aliens. All of which is out of our hands, except the aliens, but that's not for here.

If your package is delayed, let us know and we'll track it down and escalate its delivery. If it's delayed more than 2 weeks past the shipment date, and your order includes coffee, we'll either refund your money or ship you fresh coffee at no cost.
Can my coffee be ground?

By you? Yes. By us, sadly, no. Currently, we can only ship whole-bean coffee.
When will my order ship?

Freshness is critical to fully enjoying coffee. We roast to order to ensure your coffee is at peak freshness when it arrives. We roast to order and ship Monday-Thursday. Orders are usually fulfilled the production day after they are placed (for example, orders placed on Monday will ship on Tuesday). Orders placed Thursday-Sunday will be fulfilled and shipped on Monday.
