Story
Aromas of walnut brownie, cherry, and graham cracker introduce this smooth decaf. Notes of toasted almond and cherry are lifted by brownie sweetness and mellow acidity, with bittersweet cocoa powder lingering in the finish.
This lot produced by the Swiss Water Process combines coffees from two Peruvian co-ops, Unicafec and Norandino, in the northwestern regions of Cajamarca and Piura.
This chemical-free method for removing caffeine involves soaking green coffee in fresh water until it reaches a saturation level that allows the dissolvable solids, including caffeine, to be removed. Caffeine-free green coffee extract (GCE) is then introduced to the beans, which causes the caffeine molecules to bind to the GCE. The now-decaffeinated coffee is then dried to the proper moisture content and rested before shipment.
