This Colombia Decaf is at the top of its class when it comes to the decaffeination process.
When ripe, the coffee cherries are picked and go through an initial flotation sorting to remove those under ripe and general debris before passing through a pulping machine and working their way down the washing channels to the fermentation tanks. Here, they will sit for typically 8-14 hours, before moving to the drying patios for controlled drying down to 10-12% moisture. Typically in Colombia, this is carried out on the farm, with processed cherries then being taken to a dry mill for careful grading, tasting, and blending. The coffee is stored in parchment until ready for export, when it is hulled at the dry mill and bagged for shipping. Bean sizes 15-16 are graded as Excelso, large beans.
Once picked, they then undergo soaking in fresh water ready to remove the caffeine.
Swiss Water® is the innovative craft of using pure water to gently remove caffeine. The 100% chemical free process decaffeinates coffee in small batches.
