About this Product
The Swiss Water Process is a 100% chemical-free and organic method for decaffeinating coffee. It was developed in the 1930s in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, and is now commercialised by the Swiss Water Decaffeinated Coffee Company, founded in 1988.
This decaffeination technique avoids the use of chemicals, instead relying on a special solution known as Green Coffee Extract (GCE), a super-saturated solution of water-soluble compounds from green coffee—except for caffeine. To decaffeinate, fresh GCE is introduced to a batch of green coffee beans. Since the GCE is already saturated with all the water-soluble compounds (except caffeine), only the caffeine molecules are able to move out of the beans, leaving the rest of the flavour intact. Thanks to this clever, science-driven process, it’s possible to enjoy decaf coffee that tastes just like the original, minus the caffeine!
