Presentation of this coffee:
The decaffeination method used is with water. It is a natural process that does not use chemical substances. This method produces coffees capable of satisfying the most demanding palates as they retain the complexity and body of a non-decaffeinated coffee.
The principle of water decaffeination is simple. The green coffee beans, therefore not roasted, are immersed in water baths containing the same aromatic components as those contained in the coffee bean, except for caffeine.
According to the "Osmosis Principle" , and under certain conditions of temperature and pressure, the water bath will rebalance. Indeed, 50% of the caffeine will pass into the water bath and 50% will remain in the coffee bean. The process will be repeated up to 10 times to reduce the caffeine content contained in the bean, that is between 0.01% and 0.02%.
