Minas Gerais
Brazil, the world's largest coffee producer, uses a unique process to decaffeinate coffee. This involves hydrating green coffee with local water and an internally developed Green Coffee Extract (GCE), then continuously filtering the mixture through carbon filters until 99.9% of the caffeine is removed. The process, monitored for about 10 hours, ensures equilibrium of soluble compounds and precise control of time and temperature.
Altitude: 900-1100 m.a.s.l.
Varieties: Bourbon, Catuai
Process: Swiss Water Decaf
Colombia
In Colombia, the coffee beans are meticulously processed and sent to Swiss Water Decaf in Vancouver, Canada for decaffeination. There, an innovative, 100% chemical-free method involving pure water and Green Coffee Extract (GCE) is used. This process, which gently removes 99.9% of caffeine, involves equilibrium of soluble compounds between the GCE and the coffee, with caffeine being continuously filtered out. The process is closely monitored for 10 hours, ensuring quality and consistency in the decaf coffee produced.
Altitude: 1000+ m.a.s.l
Variety: Typica, Caturra, Castillo, Colombia
Process: Swiss Water Decaf
Sidamo
In the Sidamo region of Ethiopia, known for its diverse and high-quality coffee varietals, the decaffeination process begins by cleaning and hydrating the beans with local water. They are then treated with an internally developed Green Coffee Extract (GCE). Caffeine is removed through a continuous flow through carbon filters, balancing the ratio of soluble compounds between the GCE and the coffee until 99.9% of the caffeine is extracted. This meticulous process, lasting approximately 10 hours, includes monitoring caffeine levels, time, and temperature.
Altitude: 1600-1900 m.a.s.l.
Varieties: Heirloom

APROCOYCE
Coffee cherries, grown in shade, are picked and initially sorted in flotation tanks to remove debris, then fermented for 12-16 hours. After washing, they are dried in solar barns. In Vancouver, Swiss Water processes the beans, soaking them to extract caffeine, which is then filtered out. The beans and extract are then reunited and dried to standard moisture levels.
Altitude: 1400-1800 m.a.s.l.
Varieties: Pache, Caturra, Typica, Catimor
Process: Swiss Water Decaf
Capucas
At Cooperativa Cafetalera Capucas Limitada (Capucas) in Honduras, coffee beans are prepared for decaffeination by being cleaned and hydrated with local water. The decaf process involves an internally developed Green Coffee Extract (GCE) to extract caffeine. This is achieved by balancing the soluble compounds between the GCE and the coffee, followed by continuous filtration through carbon filters. The process, monitored for about 10 hours, ensures the coffee reaches 99.9% caffeine-free status, with precise control over caffeine levels, time, and temperature.
