The Watertower Decaf

The Watertower Decaf is a water-processed decaffeinated coffee from Colombia. It comes from small farms in small coffee communities. During the water decaffeination process, the green coffee is hydrated to expand the beans for caffeine extraction. The hydrated green coffee is then introduced to Green Coffee Extract (GCE), a unique solution of concentrated coffee solubles that allows the caffeine to leave the green coffee via osmosis while minimizing the loss of desired flavor compounds. Once the caffeine has been removed the green coffee is re-dried and re-bagged for transport to our roastery, and the GCE is filtered of its caffeine through proprietary carbon filters and recycled to be used again.
