HONDURAS SWISS WATER DECAFFEINATED

Tasting Notes : MAPLE SYRUP ~ PRALINE ~ MILK CHOCOLATE

Naturally decaffeinated without the use of chemicals, this coffee is rich and nutty, with notes of maple syrup, praline, and milk chocolate.

The Coffee:

This coffee is decaffeinated using only green coffee extract and water, with no chemicals, resulting in 99.9% caffeine-free beans. First, a Green Coffee Extract (GCE) is created by soaking caffeinated beans in water, capturing all the water-soluble solids without the caffeine. The beans to be decaffeinated are then cleaned and rehydrated to the optimal level before being placed in a large container where the GCE is continuously circulated. Over 8–10 hours, caffeine is removed through osmosis and filtered out of the extract using a carbon filtration system.

The Region:

Located in western Honduras, the Ocotepeque Department is a mountainous region known for its rich agricultural tradition. Bordering Guatemala and El Salvador and surrounded by national parks, it offers stunning landscapes and ideal conditions for coffee cultivation.
