During the Swiss Water process, the green coffee is hydrated to expand the beans for caffeine extraction. The hydrated green coffee is then introduced to Green Coffee Extract (GCE), a unique solution of concentrated coffee solubles that allows the caffeine to leave the green coffee via osmosis while minimizing the loss of desired flavor compounds. Once the caffeine has been removed the green coffee is re-dried and re-bagged for transport, and the GCE is filtered of its caffeine through proprietary carbon filters and recycled to be used again.
Prior to undergoing the swiss water process, the coffee cherries are depulped and fully washed before being dried in the sun. Hailing from smallholder farms in Santa Cruz Barillas, part of the broader Huehuetenango region, this coffee is certified organic and fair trade.
