Mocha Java blends of coffee began appearing in Europe in the late 1700's as an extension to customers of the coffees that were available to them. The blends were comprised of Java coffee, from Indonesia, and Mocha coffee, from Yemen. In the United States, traditionally, coffees from South and Central America are quite prevalent. So our blend adds this taste profile to this classic blend. Light roasted Colombian coffee beans are added to the Mocha and Java beans to produce a very flavorful, medium, full-bodied cup.Like all our decaffeinated coffees, this Decaf Mocha Java Blend is 100% high-grown Arabica bean, which is decaffeinated by the Swiss Water Method. No Chemicals are used in this process. The natural flavor remains, while 99.9% of the caffeine is removed.Our Swiss Water Process Decaffeinated Coffee:The Swiss Water Process is a taste-driven, 100% chemical-free decaffeination process that delivers coffee that is 99.9% caffeine-free while protecting the unique characteristics of the origin.How it works:First a diffusion process is used which allows the gentle displacement of caffeine from green coffee. Green beans are soaked in a Green Coffee Extract (GCE), which is pure water saturated with soluble solids from green coffee. With time and temperature, the caffeine migrates out of the green beans into the GCE. This water s filtered, capturing and extracting the caffeine molecules. The flavor and body of the coffee is protected by closely monitoring the solids, caffeine levels, and moisture in the coffee. The process takes approximately 10 hours resulting in green beans that are 99.9% caffeine-free.Once the decaffeinated beans are removed from the GCE, they are then dried, finished, bagged and shipped - ready to be roasted.
