While it all sounds logical, it actually isn't. There are only two companies that specialize in water decaffeination: Descamex in Mexico and Swiss Water in Canada.

Our Sueño is decaffeinated in Mexico using the chemical-free Mountain Water Decaf process. The process works solely with water, pressure, and time. We were able to visit the plant at the end of 2022 and taste the coffees before and after the decaffeination process. The flavor of a decaf is determined by the bean used, the process, and the roast. The coffee itself provides a heavy body and chocolate notes, which the process does not alter. The acidity remains citric, complemented by a hint of maple syrup that has become characteristic for us. We developed a suitable roasting profile for this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow did we roast the Sueño?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe beans are sorted with extreme precision. While roasting, we notice how dense the beans are - they crack louder than other decaffeinated coffees we have roasted so far. In the first two minutes, we only apply 20% energy to the roast, performing a so-called \u003cem\u003esoak\u003c\/em\u003e. The cell structure of the coffee is opened up by the decaffeination process, so we start the roast with less energy. After that, we increase the energy and let it drop almost to zero at the end of the roast. This way, we emphasize the heavy body and toffee notes while avoiding strong roasted flavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0;\"\u003e\u003ciframe style=\"position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/EoKm3aNYrZE?si=b_HevSvvQrlNIffU\" title=\"title=\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eShipping via \"Kaffeebrief\" (coffee letter) also possible\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAll our coffees can be ordered in the form of a \"Kaffeebrief\".
