Pura Vida coffee is made from 100% Arabica beans handpicked in the mountains of the world’s premier coffee-growing regions and then slow roasted in small batches. Arabica beans yield the finest coffees, with a finer, more delicate taste and about half the caffeine of the other common commercial coffee type, Robusta.

Fair Trade certification means that their coffee is free of genetically modified organisms (GMOs), preserving the use of natural coffee beans. Fair Trade also means that farmers are paid a fair wage helping to lift them out of poverty and provide for their families. Fair Trade enables producers to invest in the farms, communities and also promotes protection of the environment. 

Shade grown coffee is cultivated in the traditional way, amongst forest trees. Shade-grown coffee facilitates a bio-diverse environment by providing a natural habitat for forest birds and reducing deforestation and erosion. Since it takes the beans longer to mature and ripen, it is thought to have a more complex flavor.

Pura Vida use only the Organic Water Process method to decaffeinate Pura Vida coffee. This patented method involves submerging beans in heated water that is saturated with coffee flavor, and then extracting the caffeine using special carbon filters. The flavor-charged water prevents much of the coffee’s flavor from dissolving, while the filters selectively remove the caffeine, leaving most of the coffee’s characteristics intact.
