This is a pleasantly sweet coffee, combining notes of chocolate and caramel with refreshing, subtly acidic hints of apple and citrus.We're excited to introduce to you the first decaffeinated "Coffee Friend" specialty coffee! These beans originate from the famous Colombian Huila region — its specialty coffee varieties are known all over the world. Raw coffee beans are transported to Vancouver, Canada, where the plant managed by the Swiss Water Decaf company is located. Once there, caffeine is removed from the beans using one of the world's best caffeine removal technologies, namely the famous Swiss Water®. The Swiss Water® caffeine removal method is a gentle process that uses fresh, pure water only (no chemicals at all!). Raw coffee beans are immersed in warm water — this is when the caffeine and its flavour elements start melting away. Later on, the next batch of coffee is soaked in the same liquid — this time around, caffeine is removed, yet the water, which is saturated with the flavour of the earlier batch, preserves the original taste of the beans. The result is the removal of up to 99.9 percent of caffeine, as well as the retained flavour and aroma of the beans. This subtle and tender process is used exclusively for specialty coffee varieties of the highest quality. Due to its exceptional quality and flavour, this coffee is marked as Specialty. The SCA has scored it 81.5 points out of 100.COUNTRY: ColombiaREGION: HuilaMANUFACTURER: Swiss Water Decaf ALTITUDE: 1000+ mVARIETY: Castillo, Caturra, Colombia, TypicaPROCESS: Swiss Water DecafROAST LEVEL: MediumTASTING NOTES: Apples, Caramel, LemonIngredients: roasted decaffeinated coffee beans.Storage conditions: keep sealed in a dark, dry and cool place.
