Colombia Supremo Swiss Water Decaf

Why this coffee matters 

Decaf coffee doesn’t have to mean compromise. With Colombia Supremo Swiss Water Decaf, you enjoy the same large, high-quality beans that Supremo is known for—smooth, cocoa-forward, and balanced—minus the caffeine. By using the Swiss Water® process, this coffee retains its natural flavour complexity without chemical solvents. For Canadian coffee lovers who want a late-night brew, a second cup, or a caffeine-free option, this decaf delivers a specialty experience that rivals its fully caffeinated counterpart.

Origin & Processing

• Region: Colombia (various mid–high altitude farms)
• Process: Washed
• Decaf Method: Swiss Water® (chemical-free, 99.9% caffeine removed)
• Recommended Roast: Medium (Supremo beans are hand-selected for size and quality. After washed processing, beans undergo the Swiss Water® decaffeination process in British Columbia, Canada, ensuring the coffee is decaffeinated locally, without chemicals. The Medium roast highlights cocoa sweetness, smooth body, and balanced character.)

Sustainability & Craft

Supremo farmers in Colombia cultivate coffee on small plots with care for biodiversity and shade-grown practices. The Swiss Water® process itself is eco-friendly, using only pure water, temperature, and time to remove caffeine. At Spectra Coffee, we roast in small Canadian batches to lock in freshness and ensure that this decaf maintains its integrity. It’s the perfect showcase of Colombian coffee quality—sustainable farming paired with sustainable decaf processing.
