Description
The Swiss Water® Process uses pure green coffee extract and proprietary carbon technology to remove caffeine from green coffee beans. Swiss Water® has specified the pore size of the carbon to match the caffeine molecule to ensure only the caffeine is trapped when the caffeine is captured from the green coffee extract. During the Swiss Water process, the green coffee is hydrated to expand the beans for caffeine extraction. The hydrated green coffee is then introduced to Green Coffee Extract (GCE), a unique solution of concentrated coffee solubles that allows the caffeine to leave the green coffee via osmosis while minimizing the loss of desired flavor compounds. Once the caffeine has been removed the green coffee is re-dried and re-bagged for transport, and the GCE is filtered of its caffeine through proprietary carbon filters and recycled to be used again. The Swiss Water® Process is certified organic and 100% chemical free.
Tasting Notes: A wonderful decaf! We recommend a medium to dark roast on these beans. Sweet edged and malty, good body and lower acidity. Medium roasts can show a little hint of soft fruit and nuttiness, darker roasts will get pretty bold with a chocolaty/roasty finish. Lighter roasts can show just a hint of grassy but will still make an interesting cup with more fruit, nuttiness and sweetness to go along with it.
Roasting Notes: A nice easy to roast decaf. We thought a medium roast fit it best but some will like it a little lighter, or darker. Watch for the expansion in bean size (1st crack), give it a little time to darker 1-2 shades and cool it out. Decafs can look a little darker then they are. Any signs of a shiny surface, would cool it out right away.
