About the Producer
Columbia is also renowned for its exceptional coffee lots. In Colombia, the majority of coffee is cultivated, harvested and processed on small family owned farms; think "backyard garden". This coffee is a testament to the dedication and expertise of farmers from various regions across the country, brought together in one remarkable blend. After harvesting, our Decaf Colombia undergoes the Swiss Water Process, a method that gently removes the caffeine while preserving the coffee's rich, nuanced flavors. The result is an exceptional cup that captures the essence of Colombia, without the caffeine.
About the process
During the Swiss Water process, the green coffee is hydrated to expand the beans. 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 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.
