Swiss Water Process Decaf
Variety: Caturra, Castillo
Process: Washed
This Colombian Swiss Water Decaf is a blend of coffees from many farms, with coffees changing throughout the year. Colombia offers fresh coffee year-round due to its varied climates and two key harvest seasons. The coffee undergoes washed processing at origin before being shipped to Swiss Water Decaf in Vancouver, Canada, where it is decaffeinated using a 100% chemical-free water process. The resultant coffee is 99.9% caffeine free - a reduction in caffeine of approximately 90%.
Arabica coffee is approximately 1.1% caffeine by weight and decaffeination can remove most but not all of the caffeine.

The Swiss Water Decaffeination Process
-
1. Soaking
The raw coffee is soaked to expand the beans in preparation for decaffeination.
-
2. Green Coffee Extract
The coffee is added to a liquid Green Coffee Extract (GCE). This is pure water + all water soluble solids in coffee, except for caffeine.
-
3. Diffusion
The imbalance in caffeine between the coffee and the GCE causes caffeine to migrate from the beans to the GCE.
-
4. Dried and Bagged
When the coffee is 99.9% caffeine free, it is dried and bagged ready for shipping.

Lovely dark roasted decaf that hits the caffeine free spot! Loads of caramel and cocoa notes so goes perfect with milk. Can't recommend enough!
