Decaffeinated without any chemical element, this coffee is rich and nutty.
The Coffee: After years of searching for a decaffeinated coffee that truly matched the taste of regular coffee, Swiss Water emerged. We regularly compare this decaf with our caffeinated options and it consistently surprises us. Finally, a decaf coffee that captures the essence of its origin, Honduras! Swiss Water uses a natural decaffeination process that involves only green coffee extract and water, resulting in a 99.9% caffeine-free coffee. The process begins by soaking the caffeinated beans in water to create Green Coffee Extract (GCE), which retains all the water-soluble compounds present in green coffee except for caffeine.
The coffee, to be decaffeinated, is then cleaned, rehydrated, and placed in a large container where it is continuously circulated with the GCE. It takes approximately 8 to 10 hours for the caffeine levels to drop to 0.1%, with the caffeine being extracted through osmosis and filtered out using a carbon filter system. After this meticulous process, the coffee is dried, packaged, and sent to us.
