About this coffee

Tasting notes: Sweet glacé cherry aromas, with bold flavours of nuts, almond, chocolate and raisin fruit.

The Swiss Water process is a method of decaffeinating coffee that does not involve the use of added chemicals. First developed in the 1930s in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, it has been commercialized by the Swiss Water Decaffeinated Coffee Company Inc. since 1988.

This process works by using a solution called Green Coffee Extract (GCE), which is saturated with the water-soluble compounds found in green coffee, excluding caffeine. When GCE is introduced to green coffee beans, only the caffeine diffuses out, leaving other flavor components intact.
