Tasting notes: Almond butter, marshmallow, dark chocolate.
We love decaf coffees here at Brio! We are always on the quest to find the most delicious coffees for our decaf drinkers because we know you care about the flavor. After all, you drink it for the taste and the ritual and not the caffeine. So it's extra important to us to find decaf coffees you will love!
This coffee was grown by smallholder farmers in the Sierra Mountains of Mexico. And as with all of our decafs, it was decaffeinated using the chemical-free Swiss Water Process.
In the cup, you'll find notes of dark chocolate, creamy nuttiness (think almond butter), the sweetness of marshmallows, and low acidity, It's delicious black or paired with milk and we also love it as an espresso. A perfectly balanced cup, however you brew it!
A little more about Swiss Water Process:
The SWP process works through diffusion, not osmosis. Initially, green coffee beans are soaked in water until all the caffeine and flavor compounds were extracted. The beans are then discarded, and the solution they created is run through a carbon filter that removes the caffeine, leaving behind only the flavor compounds—what SWP calls its "green coffee extract" (GCE).
When SWP decaffeinates a coffee, the beans are soaked with a small amount of the GCE, which creates a saturated solution in which the caffeine leaves but the coffee’s flavor compounds remain in place, unaffected. The GCE is like a yeast “mother.” While initially SWP has to sacrifice some coffee to create it, once the first batch is made, it just needs to maintain the health of the GCE and keep it slowly regenerating, which it does by adding small amounts of clean water.
Once the caffeine is extracted from the beans, they’re dried to 10.2 percent moisture and ready to be roasted.
