Honduras Organic Swiss Water Process Decaf HG EP 2025

Honduras Decaf Green Coffee Beans

When someone switches to decaf, it’s clear that there’s an attachment to the flavor of coffee that they can never give up. Thanks to constantly improving decaf processing methods, it’s easier than ever to have delicious caffeine-free coffee. Decaf drinkers can enjoy all the characteristics of their best loved origins, without sacrificing quality, flavor or experience.

This High Grown (HG) Honduras coffee was hand-sorted to the European Process (EP) quality standard, which signifies there are no more than four defects per 1,000 coffee beans. This coffee was grown organically, free of chemicals from cultivation through the decaffeination process, and sourced from regional smallholder farmers to create a classic Honduran flavor profile blend. Think notes of dark chocolate, graham cracker, citrus, and nutty flavors with a medium body and moderate acidity. Clean sweet, fully organic, and decaf!

What is the Swiss Water® Decaf Process?

The Swiss Water Process, developed in Switzerland, is a natural, chemical-free way to decaffeinate coffee while keeping its original flavors intact. It starts by soaking green coffee beans in pure water to create a proprietary Green Coffee Extract (GCE), which holds all the coffee’s soluble compounds. This extract is then passed through activated carbon filters to remove caffeine, leaving behind a flavorful, caffeine-free solution. When new batches of green coffee beans are added to the GCE and soaked for 8–10 hours, the caffeine naturally moves out of the beans without stripping away their taste. The extract is continuously refreshed through carbon filtration, ensuring the beans retain their character.

Thanks to this careful process, Swiss Water decaf removes 99.9% of the caffeine while preserving the coffee’s original profile—bright acidity, rich flavors, and complexity. This is a decaf that actually tastes like coffee, making it a great option for anyone looking to cut back on caffeine without sacrificing quality. Learn more about how decaf coffee is made here.
