This is a dark roasted Brazilian coffee decaffeinated using the Swiss Water Process, a chemical-free method that removes 99.9% of caffeine. The process involves creating a Green Coffee Extract from water and coffee solubles, which binds to and removes the caffeine. The coffee features notes of chocolate and toasted nuts, offering a smooth flavor profile suitable for those seeking a caffeine-free option without compromising taste.
Golden State Coffee was founded in 2012 as a roasting operation in Southern California, spending its first seven years focused on distribution before opening a location in Placentia, Orange County, in 2019. The roastery is led by Eric Scott, who built the business on specialty grade sourcing and a philosophy that supports both traditional and progressive approaches to coffee preparation. Golden State also offers consulting services, equipment supply, and water filtration guidance, extending its expertise to the broader coffee community. It is a roaster that understands the industry from multiple angles, not just the bean.
