Rounton - Sparkling Water Decaf

Chachapoyas, Jaén

Smallholder farmers from the Chirinos and Huabal districts come together to deliver their coffee to a central dry mill.

This lot is named after the city Chachapoyas, which is the capital of the neighbouring Amazonas region.

Chocolatey & Sweet

We give a lot of love and attention to our decaf coffees, and want them to taste just like their caffeinated counterparts. Like any good Peruvian coffee, you can expect notes of caramelised brown sugar, cocoa, and a cherry-like sweetness.

Praised by the Great Taste Award judges for its "immense amount of character, lovely dark chocolate and cherry notes".

Sparkling Water Decaf Coffee

The green beans are soaked / cleaned in water, this allows the pores to open up as the beans expand and the caffeine to become mobile.

Pressured Carbon Dioxide is introduced, this combined with the present water creates sparkling water. The CO2 acts like a magnet to the caffeine molecules, extracting it from the beans.

The water is then drained into an evaporator which precipitates the caffeine rich carbon dioxide out of the water

This cycle is repeated until the caffeine level is low enough to be classified as decaf

The decaffeinated coffee beans are then gently dried until it reaches its original moisture content and is then ready for roasting.
