Sumatra – SWP DECAF – KSU Arinagata – Fair Trade Organic – Green Unroasted

Taste: As with all of our Specialty Grade decafs, fresh-roasting at home and drinking within a few days of the roast provides a cup that rivals some caffeinated coffees on the market. This Sumatra Decaf retains the earthy and full-bodied characteristics of this tropical island.

Roast: Decaf beans roast quickly, so reducing the heat can help prolong the roast and flavor development.  We love Decafs roasted to Medium Dark/Full City Roast.

About: In Sumatra’s western highlands, along the coast of Lake Lut Tawar, we have found some of Indonesia’s best coffees. The Gayonese people, an indigenous group that lives in this region and has grown coffee for many generations, produce a collection of different coffee varieties on small farms, each averaging about 1.5 hectares in size. The growers here rely almost entirely on the sale of coffee for their household income, and depend on the rich soil and organic farming to protect and support their livelihoods.

SWP – Developed in Switzerland, the Swiss Water Process uses Green Coffee Extract (GCE) for caffeine extraction. Green Coffee Extract is a solution containing the water-soluble components of green coffee except for the caffeine. When mixed with the caffeine rich green coffee beans, the GCE attracts the caffeine molecules, but leaves more of the flavor containing molecules in the green bean. This process occurs in batches cycles over an 8-10 hour cycle.

MWP – The same method as described above except performed at the ultra-modern Descamex plant in Mexico. The trademarked brand name “Swiss Water Decaf” cannot be used. The Mountain Water Decaf process uses clear, pure water from the glaciers and highest mountain in Mexico. In the decaffeination process, the green coffee beans are immersed in water in order to extract the caffeine. The water contains the soluble components of the coffee beans which hold the elements of the individual coffee’s flavor, so that during the extraction of the caffeine the beans maintain their original taste components. The resulting coffee is 99.9 caffeine free. Once decaffeination is finished the beans are dried and packed.
