Swiss Water Process Decaf

Variety: Mixed Heirloom

Process: Washed

Producer: Haile Gebre

Region: Guji

Elevation: 1800m

Harvest: November-February 2023

Grown on the 640-hectare semi-forest Shakisso farm by Haile Gebre, known as the “Godfather of Guji,” this decaf coffee offers the best of Ethiopia’s renowned flavor profiles. Coffees from Guji are known for the their stonefruit, berry and floral flavours. The farm uses sustainable practices, including bespoke compost and water treatment, ensuring an environmentally friendly approach.

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.

Roast Date

We roast on Tuesdays and Thursdays and dispatch the following day.

Excellent Flavour

Well rounded and balanced. The tasting notes mention apricot, blueberry, and cacao — I’d say it’s spot on with blueberry being slightly more prominent. This is a solid go-to.
