These tips are just a way to get you started. We encourage you to experiment and please get in touch if you need any tips specific to your brewing method / machine.
Swiss Water® Decaf, the IncaFé way
Our Decaf is crafted from certified organic beans grown in the highlands of Cajamarca, Peru, then gently decaffeinated using the Swiss Water® Process. It uses only water, temperature and time to remove 99.9% of caffeine while keeping the origin character, sweetness and body that IncaFé is known for.
100% chemical‑free decaf
The Swiss Water® Process doesn’t use solvents like methylene chloride or ethyl acetate. Just purified water and carbon filters remove the caffeine, leaving your cup free from chemical residues.
Flavour‑first decaffeination
Green Coffee Extract (GCE) is saturated with the beans’ natural soluble compounds so only caffeine moves out, helping preserve brown sugar sweetness, blood orange acidity and caramel body in the final cup.
In sync with our values
Using Swiss Water® aligns with our focus on organic, traceable supply chains and low‑impact processing. The process is carefully monitored for water efficiency and quality, supporting both people and planet.
IncaFé Swiss Water® decaf coffee is roasted in small batches in New Plymouth so you can enjoy a smooth, organic decaf that tastes like real coffee—any time of day.

We rest the decaf for at least a week so CO2 can degas gently and sweetness can develop. Straight after, we seal it in nitrogen-flushed, triple-layer high-barrier bags equipped with premium one-way valves. That setup blocks oxygen and moisture while letting residual gas escape, keeping flavour locked in for up to 24 months. Direct sourcing and small-batch roasting in New Plymouth give us complete control. Learn more in “The importance of coffee packaging: how it keeps your coffee fresh.”
