This single origin coffee from Peru is decaffeinated using the Swiss Water Process. It features chocolate, hazelnut, caramel, and orange zest flavor notes with a medium roast level. The Swiss Water decaffeination method uses pure water to gently remove caffeine while preserving the coffee's natural complexity and full-bodied taste, resulting in a decaf coffee that retains its inherent qualities in flavor and aroma.
Andrew Schittone and Adriana Cabrera founded Riposo Coffee Roasters after a 2019 trip to Italy reignited their shared love of coffee. Andrew's Italian heritage and Adriana's family roots in Puerto Rican coffee farming, where her grandmother operated a farm on the island, give the roastery a personal foundation that runs deeper than most. They started roasting in their garage, spent two years building the business, and opened their first retail location in Rumson, New Jersey in November 2023. The name Riposo nods to the Italian tradition of the mid afternoon pause, and the roasting reflects that sensibility: small batch, unhurried, with both single origin offerings and a classic Italian espresso blend in the lineup.
