About Norandino cooperative of Peru
We ship coffee from Peru (Norandino cooperative) to the Mountain Water Decaffeination plant in Veracruz, Mexico. Instead of chemicals, this plant uses steam and carbon filtration to remove the caffeine.
Coop Norandino was founded in March 1995 with 200 members. Today the group has grown into a second level non-profit organization, 3695 member farmers (673 women), which represents coffee and sugar cane producers of the Piuran mountains of northeastern Peru. Norandino’s primary objectives are to sell 100% of their coffee to the specialty market, to strengthen their organization, and to establish respectful and collaborative commercial alliances with their international network of buyers.
