Small farmers and careful processing of decaffeinated coffee
INFO
This decaf coffee comes mainly from Moyobamba in northern Peru, where it is grown by smallholder farmers. A smaller portion of the blend comes from growers in the Ahuachapán region of El Salvador. After harvesting and processing, the green coffee beans travel to Germany, where the caffeine is removed using the CO₂ method.
At the start of the process, the green coffee is treated with water, steam and heat. This causes the beans to swell, making the caffeine easier to extract. The coffee is then placed in extraction vessels, where liquid carbon dioxide passes through it. The CO₂ binds to the caffeine and carries it out of the beans.
The carbon dioxide carrying the caffeine is then removed, the caffeine is separated from it, and the CO₂ is liquefied again for the next cycle. The process is repeated until almost all the caffeine has been removed. Finally, the beans are gently dried at a low temperature to reach a suitable moisture level for storage, transport and roasting.
The CO₂ method targets caffeine while limiting the loss of other compounds naturally present in green coffee. So you can enjoy a cup of coffee whenever you would prefer to skip the caffeine.
