Those of you who’ve been with us awhile will perhaps be surprised to finally see a decaf on the menu (after a few years without) but certainly won’t be surprised to see who’s in the starring role. Jhoan Vergara’s Pink Bourbon, Java & Tabi varieties are all excellent examples of what you can do when you have a good understanding of the native yeasts and microbes in your arsenal, and how to use them to alchemize flavour through processing. This decaf is effectively a love letter for people who love coffee, the more floral, resinously sweet & soapy the better.
About the Swiss Water® Decaffeination Process
Swiss Water® Decaf is located on our home turf, just outside Vancouver in Burnaby, BC, Canada. They have found a way of removing over 99% the caffeine from coffee by using carbon filters that are the shape of the caffeine molecule.
