💧 Swiss Water Process Details

During the Swiss Water process, the green coffee undergoes a specialized, chemical-free decaffeination procedure:

• Green coffee is hydrated to expand the beans for caffeine extraction
• Hydrated coffee is introduced to Green Coffee Extract (GCE), a solution of concentrated coffee solubles
• Caffeine leaves the green coffee via osmosis while minimizing the loss of desired flavor compounds
• GCE is filtered of its caffeine through carbon filters and recycled for future use
• Decaffeinated green coffee is re-dried and re-bagged for transport
