The coffee for those who, for whatever reason, want to reduce or minimize their caffeine intake but still maximize taste and aroma. This decaf raw coffee is not only grown according to organic principles, it is also decaffeinated using the most natural and gentle process known to man, the CO2 method.
The patented CO2 method involves first soaking the green coffee before it is pressurized with liquid CO2. By circulating in the green coffee, CO2 extracts the caffeine from the beans. The process is repeated enough times until at least 95% of the caffeine has been removed. The water is then removed and the green coffee is dried back to its original liquid level.
Although the organic specialty coffee-grade green coffee, grown at high altitude and thus developed over a long period of time, gives us the very best conditions when roasting, you should be a little extra careful when roasting yourself. The green coffee has nevertheless undergone a process, a further step, before we roast it. This green coffee tastes best if roasted in the dark, but it’s a balancing act to do so and stop roasting in time. Otherwise, there is a risk that the oils will come out of the beans faster than you are used to. It is only at the moment of brewing, when the hot water hits the coffee, that we want the aromatic oils to be released.
Good luck to you!
