Description
Do you desire all the fine attributes of a cup of Colombian coffee but could do without the caffeine? If so, then try this mild and sweet Colombia Decaf coffee, with a medium body and chocolate and nutty notes, made from 100% of the finest, hand-selected Arabica coffee and then decaffeinated using a chemical-free Swiss Water Process. While some roasters use beans that have been decaffeinated using chemical solvents, Utica Coffee Roasting believes that life is too short to drink chemically processed coffee.
Aroma: Chocolaty, Nutty
Acidity: Medium
Body: Medium
Flavor: Mild and sweet, chocolaty, with nutty undertones
The Swiss Water Process is a method of decaffeination that is 100% chemical-free, where green coffee beans are soaked in water containing caffeine-free green coffee extract over an eight-hour period so that the caffeine is extracted from the bean and into the water, yet the flavor components remain. The now-caffeine-saturated-green-coffee extract is then processed through a carbon filter to remove the caffeine and thus becoming caffeine-free, again ready to extract caffeine from a new batch of coffee. The coffee beans are then dried to their originating moisture level and re-bagged. The Swiss Water Process results in coffee that is 99.9% caffeine-free.
