About this Product
Mountain Water is a non-chemical decaffeination process which uses the clear waters to gently remove the caffeine from green coffee beans.
This superb coffee is gently decaffeinated by washing with pure, glacier water. The raw coffee beans are immersed and washed in tanks to remove almost all the caffeine, and are then slowly dried over a period of four hours. This chemical-free method produces a coffee that is richly flavoured, full-bodied and 99.9% caffeine-free. The water preserves the soluble flavouring of the beans, keeping the original characteristics of the coffee.
You might notice that your Mountain Process Decaf coffee looks darker than your normal coffee. Ready for some fun facts? This is because in the water the cellulose structure of a decaf bean expands and then shrinks back. However, it doesn’t shrink back completely. The structure of the bean is not as tight as non-decaffeinated beans. This means that decafs don’t change much during the roasting process. It’s also the reason roasters don’t hear the “crack”as the decaf beans reach readiness. As a result, decaf coffee (both beans and ground coffee) look darker than its caffeinated friends. Yet it still tastes the same.
