Luz Helena Salazar – Honey Swiss Water Decaf, Colombia

Luz Helena Salazar manages two farms in Armenia, Quindío, where she has spent the past two decades refining her approach to specialty coffee. Focused on sustainable farming, careful cherry selection, and pest management, her work translates directly into a cup of remarkable clarity and balance. Beyond coffee, Luz supports her community through local humanitarian initiatives, helping vulnerable families, the elderly, and those displaced by violence.

Why Moonwake chose it:

This medium-roast decaf is a rare delight—smooth, rich, and expressive without the typical decaf notes. The cup opens with sweet raspberry dessert notes, layered with chocolate-covered cherry, and finishes with a gentle hazelnut sweetness. Versatile for both espresso and filter, it’s a decaf that never compromises on flavor.

Flavour Notes: Raspberry Jam, Chocolate Cherry, Hazlenut

We recommend brewing with beans that are at least two weeks off roast. All beans are roasted to peak flavour at around 8-12 weeks. We have the option to either purchase standard beans (at least 2 weeks but no longer than 6 weeks off roast), or rested beans (at least 7 weeks off roast, no longer than 12). For peak flavour, if you are looking to use immediately, we recommend purchasing the rested beans. If you are adding to your rotation of beans, we recommend purchasing the standard and allowing the beans to naturally rest and mature whilst you rotate through other beans.
