What makes the Swiss Water Process different from other decaffeination methods?

The Swiss Water Process uses pure water and time to remove caffeine rather than solvents. It preserves much of the coffee's original oils and flavor compounds, resulting in a more natural-tasting decaf with a smoother profile.

• Chemical-free decaffeination using water and activated carbon filtration
• Better retention of aroma and flavor compounds compared with solvent-based methods
• Produces a smooth, low-bitterness cup suitable for medium-roast profiles

How will Sunday Drive taste brewed at home?

Expect a balanced, medium-roast profile with mellow chocolate and nutty notes and a pleasant aroma. The Swiss Water Process keeps the cup full-bodied without the sharp acidity or bitterness some decafs can show.

• Medium roast with a rounded mouthfeel and gentle sweetness
• Low bitterness and muted acidity for easy sipping any time of day
• Ground form for quick brewing in drip machines, pour-over, or French press
