100% Organic Water Processed Decaffeinated Bun Coffee Espresso Ground

Country of Origin: Columbia

Ingredients: ground organic decaffeinated coffee beans

Grown in Columbia this certified organic bean is then transported to Canada where it is naturally decaffeinated using a water processing method whereby only pure water and carbon filters are used to remove 99.9% of all caffeine.

The result is a smooth, full flavoured and creamy caffeine free coffee.

In the Water Process the green beans are soaked in hot water to remove the caffeine and compounds responsible for much of the flavour of the coffee. The first batch of beans is then discarded, while the caffeine is stripped from the solution by means of activated carbon filters. This leaves a solution saturated with flavour compounds, which is then used to soak a new batch of green coffee. The principle is that the solution is saturated with all components soluble in water other than caffeine, and therefore only the caffeine in the bean is allowed to escape whereas the rest of the compounds are in equilibrium.
