The Swiss Water processing plant is located in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada - where roasters and importers from around the globe send their coffee to be decaffeinated. First, they start with small batches of specialty coffee and green coffee extract. Then adding local water they monitor the time and temperature while the caffeine migrates from the coffee beans, monitoring the variables for 10 hours ensuring the flavour and character remain untouched. The final result is a caffeine-free coffee with the original character for a full and flavourful cup.

Context

This decaffeinated coffee from Propeller Coffee showcases Peru through a Swiss Water process, which uses water rather than solvents to remove caffeine while preserving the bean's character. The roaster identifies hazelnut and chocolate as foundational notes, complemented by a brighter cherry character—a balance that suggests both body and acidity in the cup. Swiss Water decafs tend to maintain complexity better than some alternative decaffeination methods, making this organic offering a thoughtful choice for those seeking flavor without caffeine.
