About This Coffee

This decaffeinated coffee blend is composed of 100% Arabica beans sourced from South America. The coffee is processed using the Swiss Water method, a chemical-free decaffeination process that utilizes osmosis and the solubility properties of coffee beans to remove 99.9% of caffeine while preserving essential oils and flavor compounds. The resulting cup is described as round, chocolatey, and stimulating, making it a suitable choice for those seeking a decaffeinated coffee that retains the characteristics of a standard espresso.
