THE ESSENCE

Indistinguishable from regular coffee, this exceptional decaf from the Todosantarita Co-Op in Guatemala is distinguished by its full body, impeccable balance, and prolonged sweet aftertaste, featuring indulgent notes of dark chocolate, caramel, and a subtle citrus zest. Unlike typical decaffeinated options, our coffee undergoes the SWISS WATER® Process, a 100% chemical-free method that removes 99.9% of caffeine while preserving the beans' natural flavours and aromas. Now, coffee lovers can savour a superior decaf that truly stands out.

THE TASTE EXPERIENCE

THE TASTE EXPERIENCE

Big bodied, well balanced with a long sweet aftertaste. Notes of rich dark chocolate, gooey caramel and a slight hint of citrus. Millionnaire’s Shortbread in a Cup.

I couldn’t believe it was decaf.

Swiss Water Process

The Swiss Water Decaffeination Process is a chemical-free method used to remove caffeine from coffee beans while preserving their original flavour. This method involves soaking green coffee beans in hot water to dissolve the caffeine. The water, now containing the caffeine and flavor compounds, passes through a carbon filter that traps the caffeine molecules. The remaining flavour-rich water, called Green Coffee Extract (GCE), is then used to soak new batches of beans, ensuring they retain their full-bodied taste. This gentle, eco-friendly process ensures that decaffeinated coffee maintains the same quality and complexity as its caffeinated counterpart.

SUSTAINABILITY

Todosantarita Cooperative is deeply committed to sustainability, implementing eco-friendly practices throughout their coffee production process. They prioritise organic farming methods, avoiding harmful pesticides and chemicals, which not only protect the environment but also enhance the natural flavour of their coffee. The cooperative engages in water conservation techniques and promotes biodiversity by maintaining shade-grown coffee farms that provide habitats for various wildlife species. Additionally, they focus on soil health through crop rotation and composting. Social sustainability is equally important, as the cooperative ensures fair wages and educational opportunities for members, fostering community development and improving the overall quality of life for farming families.
