Swiss Water® Decaf
This coffee was decaffeinated using the Swiss Water® Process of caffeine extraction, without the use of chemical solvents. The coffee soaks in a water containing soluble components of the coffee beans, which removes 99.9% of caffeine molecules while retaining the coffee's original flavor characteristics. Our team is consistently impressed by the quality of coffees decaffeinated by Swiss Water®.
