From Kaffeelix:
 
"It's been a long time since we last had a coffee like this in our range - which makes it all the more exciting to finally be able to brew (and drink!) filter coffee around the clock again with this wonderful single-origin decaf without having to worry about your heart rate :)
 
But seriously, thanks to modern processing methods, it is no longer as difficult as it used to be to make decaf really good; although we have to admit that sourcing is still a bit of a challenge.
 
But sometimes we come across gems like this one from the Small Batch series by Swiss Water. And of course we grab them for you!
 
On the origin: Under the umbrella of Gold Mountain Coffee Growers, over 70 producers in Nicaragua are gathered, whose community is characterized by special quality standards, social economics, careful use of resources and traceability in cultivation.
 
Processing: This coffee is partly carbonic macerated and partly naturally (dry) processed at Finca Idealista and then decaffeinated using Swiss Water Processing.
 
Speaking of decaffeination , in this case it works like this: A first batch of green coffee beans is soaked in water so that all water-soluble components (caffeine and aromas) dissolve. The caffeine is then filtered out of this enriched water. The water is now saturated with the aromas of the coffee and only extracts the caffeine from the next, newly added green batch. Et voilá! A decaf with all its natural aromas. If you want to know more, click here."
