Swiss Water Process (SWP) Decaffeination
The Swiss Water Process is a 100% chemical-free decaffeination method that uses only water, time, and temperature to remove caffeine from the coffee beans. Here’s how it works:
Step 1: The green coffee beans are soaked in warm water, which extracts the caffeine while retaining the essential oils and flavor compounds.
Step 2: The caffeine is filtered out through activated carbon filters.
Step 3: The beans are then returned to the water to reabsorb the flavors and compounds that were initially extracted, ensuring a rich, flavorful cup without the caffeine.
This decaf is ideal for coffee lovers who want to enjoy a high-quality, flavorful cup without the caffeine buzz. The Swiss Water Process ensures that the coffee’s full taste remains intact, making it difficult to distinguish from caffeinated varieties.
