What to Expect
This is decaf done properly. Swiss Water Decaf Brazil from Monsoon Estates delivers the natural sweetness and chocolate character you'd expect from Brazilian coffee, without the chemical aftertaste that plagues cheaper decaf. It's 99.9% caffeine-free, processed using only water from the coastal mountains of British Columbia.
The Cup
Expect a medium body with a round, approachable mouthfeel. The acidity is low, as is typical for Brazilian coffee, making this a smooth, easy-drinking cup. The flavour leans into chocolate and natural sweetness, with none of the papery flatness that often comes with decaffeination. It's clean, straightforward, and comforting. The Swiss Water process preserves more origin character than solvent-based methods, so you're tasting Brazil, not just the absence of caffeine.
Who This Is For
This suits anyone who wants coffee flavour without the caffeine, whether that's for health reasons, late-night drinking, or simply preference. It's also a solid choice for households where not everyone wants the buzz.
If you're chasing bright, complex, fruit-forward flavours, this won't deliver that. It's a chocolate-and-sweetness coffee, not a floral one.
Best for: Decaf drinkers who want a reliable, chocolatey cup that works any time of day.
How to Brew This Coffee
The medium roast and balanced profile make this genuinely versatile. Espresso works well, especially with milk, where the chocolate sweetness comes through cleanly. French Press emphasises the body and rounds out the sweetness, making for a comforting, full cup. Aeropress offers flexibility, letting you dial in anywhere from espresso-strength to a lighter, filter-style brew depending on your mood.

BRAZIL Swiss Water Decaffeinated coffee is a great tasting coffee without the caffeine. Medium roasted with a natural sweetness and slight chocolate taste.
Decaffeinated coffee has come a long way since its invention in 1903. Most decaffeination processes employ chemical solvents such as methylene chloride or ethyl acetate to strip caffeine molecules from the green coffee bean.
The Swiss Water Company use water from the coastal mountains of British Columbia to gently remove the caffeine until the coffee beans are 99.9% caffeine-free, while maintaining the bean's distinctive origin and flavour characteristics. You can be sure that no chemicals were used to remove the caffeine from the coffee.
Great espresso also goes well with milk, suits all brew methods.We always have other decafs here but cannot roast them all to add to the webshop. Contact us if you would like to try something else. anne@monsoonestates.co.uk

Ways to Brew
-
Espresso
An intense, concentrated brewing method that forces hot water through finely-ground coffee under high pressure. This produces a small, powerful shot with rich crema, serving as the foundation for countless coffee drinks while delivering bold flavors and aromatic complexity.
-
French Press
A French Press (or Cafetiere) is a simple, manual coffee maker that brews rich, full-bodied coffee by steeping coarse grounds in hot water, then separating them by pressing a mesh filter down with a plunger, allowing the coffee's natural oils and sediment to remain for a bolder flavour.
-
Aeropress
An innovative, portable brewing device that uses air pressure to extract coffee quickly and efficiently. This versatile method allows for experimentation with brewing times and techniques, producing anything from espresso-style concentrates to smooth, full-flavored cups with remarkable consistency.
