Peru, Swiss Water Decaf, Organic

Decaf is NOT a bad word. Decaf, if made with proper care and attention, should bring the same dynamic flavour profile as any specialty small-batch coffee.
This is our first time offering this specific decaf and we are loving it. Its origin is Peru, but it was decaffeinated in Delta, B.C. at the Swiss Water production plant. It's 100% chemical-free and 99.7% caffeine-free.
Swiss Water Process uses only water and a series of steps to decafinate coffee. Caffeine is water soluble and when the unroasted beans are soaked, they naturally lose a lot of their caffeine content.
From the folks at Swiss Water:
"We use only water, temperature, and time to gently remove caffeine, while preserving all the coffee’s original characteristics. Our seal means you’re getting the very best cup of decaf, free of chemicals or residual processing flavours."

We roasted this coffee to a nice medium-dark profile to bring out its inherent sweetness and chocolate notes. There's also a toasty note and a bit of citrus hiding in there. We taste-tested it with a few customers and not a single one of them guessed that it was decaf.
If you want a delicious cup of coffee without the caffeine, this is the bean for you!
