Certified Decaf Coffee Process

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/2025/organic-decaffeinated-

We wrote recently about decaf coffee and whether it is organic or not.

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/2025/organic-decaffeinated-

In our article Organic Coffee without

Caffeine we noted that the only

organic certified way to make decaf is the Swiss Water Process.

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/2025/organic-decaffeinated-

coffee-k-cups/

The Swiss water method does not use solvents to decaffeinate coffee. It was invented 80 years ago but required decades for technical improvements to make it cost effective. The company that does this is in Vancouver, B.C. and their process for making decaf organic coffee is certified.

To remove caffeine, coffee beans are soaked in hot water. The water passes through a large-pore activated charcoal filter with pore size such that larger caffeine molecules are trapped and smaller molecules (oils, antioxidants) pass through. The remaining water contains flavor elements but not caffeine. Then the first batch of caffeine-free beans is discarded.

Now new beans are soaked in the new flavorful but caffeine free water. Osmosis causes caffeine to leech out of the beans because of the difference in coffee concentration between bean and water. The flavor elements, antioxidants, etc. remain in the bean because there is not concentration difference between bean and water.

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/2025/organic-decaffeinated-

All batches are tested to guarantee

that their coffee is 99.5% caffeine

free. And decaf coffee made this way

is always labeled as Swiss Water decaf.

So if you are looking for organic

decaffeinated coffee in k cups look

for certification of the Swiss Water Process.

Where Does the Coffee Come From?

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/2025/organic-decaffeinated-

Our favorite coffees are Colombian

Arabica and this includes when the coffee is decaffeinated.

Read our article about coffee from

Manizales, Colombia for a sense of

the culture and the quality of the coffee.

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/2025/organic-decaffeinated-

coffee-k-cups/

Manizales was founded in the mid-

19th century by 14 families who

moved into this mountainous region

specifically to grow coffee. They are

now known as the founders or Fundadores.

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/2025/organic-decaffeinated-

The local upscale mall is the

Fundadores and a large local grocery

store is La 14 in reference to the

founders. Coffee culture is

everywhere and Manizales is the

home of the Colombian Coffee Growers Association.

There are large coffee roasting

companies everywhere but our focus

is on the small family operations. We

visited one such company recently.

Dad came from Tolima, Colombia a

generation ago and founded a tilladora.

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/2025/organic-decaffeinated-

This word translates as thresher in

Google but is the operation for

removal of the husk on the green coffee bean before roasting.
