Medium Roast Tasting notes: Dark Chocolate, Brown Sugar, Nutty, Black Currant, Citrus Peru Decaf Organic Coffee Beans When someone switches to decaf, it’s clear they’re attached to the flavor of coffee and can’t give it up entirely. Fortunately, it’s easier than ever to enjoy delicious caffeine-free coffee that still reflects beloved origin terroirs. With constantly improving decaf processing methods, you don’t have to sacrifice quality or flavor. This fully washed Peruvian coffee from the Amazonas proves just that. Even as a decaf, it shines with familiar flavor notes of dark chocolate, brown sugar, and nuttiness. Its acidity brings out highlights of blackcurrant and citrus. Peru is one of the world’s leading producers of organic coffee, with smallholder farmers cultivating high-altitude beans using sustainable, chemical-free methods. The country’s diverse microclimates and dedication to organic certification make its coffees well-known for complex profiles—even in decaf form. What is the Swiss Water® Decaf Process? The Swiss Water Process, developed in Switzerland, is a natural, chemical-free method of decaffeinating coffee while preserving its original flavors. It begins by soaking green coffee beans in pure water to create a proprietary Green Coffee Extract (GCE), which holds all of the coffee’s soluble compounds. Th GCE is then passed through activated carbon filters to remove caffeine, leaving a flavorful, caffeine-free solution. New batches of green beans are then soaked in this GCE for 8–10 hours. During that time, caffeine naturally migrates out of the beans without stripping away taste. The extract is continuously refreshed through carbon filtration, ensuring the beans retain their full-bodied character.
