How is your Calm/decaf coffee processed?Updated 2 years ago
Decaf Purity Coffee is decaffeinated using the natural, chemical-free Swiss Water® Process. This method relies entirely on two concepts, solubility and osmosis, to decaffeinate coffee beans. This method does not involve the use of any chemical solvents, and prioritizes the quality of the coffee. The Swiss Water® Company’s decaffeination facility is certified organic by the Organic Crop Improvement Association (OCIA).
Caffeine is water soluble, but many other compounds are as well, some of which might contribute to coffee flavor (which we would rather preserve in our coffee). Therefore, a special process uses green coffee extract to soak coffee beans in hot water in order to extract only the caffeine. Since there is no caffeine in the water and coffee extract solution, this draws only the caffeine out of the coffee. The water solution is then filtered to remove the caffeine, and the coffee can soak again until it is fully decaffeinated.

The Swiss Water® Process guarantees the decaf coffee to be 99.99% caffeine-free.
