[A word from the roaster] Made with fine Colombian Supremo beans, this decaf is one you can enjoy with peace of mind even if you prefer to limit caffeine. The Bremen Water Process keeps its rich aroma and sweetness fully intact. Recommended for relaxing evenings and for those who are breastfeeding.
[About the origin] "Decaf" refers to the process of removing caffeine from coffee beans, also known as caffeine-free or non-caffeine coffee. The decaf processes that comply with Japan's Food Sanitation Act are chiefly water-based methods, the most representative being the Swiss Water Process and the Mountain Water Process. Both use no chemical solvents at all, offering high safety while preserving flavor.
Among these, the "Bremen Water Process" is an innovative decaffeination method developed by Coffein Compagnie of Bremen, Germany. Founded in 1931, the company has researched caffeine-removal technology for over 90 years and introduced its latest production line in 2021. The great strength of this process is that it uses pure water alone, removing caffeine without compromising the coffee bean's natural flavor and aroma.
Where the conventional Swiss Water Process carried a risk of components from different beans intermingling, the Bremen Water Process uses beans from a single lot only and works under strict quality control, so each bean's character shines through as it is. The company also puts great care into environmental responsibility, reusing 85% of the water it uses and recycling its activated carbon. These sustainable efforts have earned recognition, including EU and USDA organic certification, along with Kosher and Halal certification.
This decaf coffee is marked by a nutty toastiness, the gentle acidity characteristic of Colombian coffee, and a silky mouthfeel. Perfect not only for those cutting back on caffeine but also for relaxing evenings and a change of pace during the workday. A monthly subscription for fresh beans is well worth considering too.
