Sweet edged and malty, good body and lower acidity, hint of soft fruit and nuttiness
Located on the foothill of the Agua Volcano, Finca Medina was founded in 1842. Its 100 acres are located on the outskirts of Guatemala’s City of Antigua.
Finca Medina respects its sustainability commitment and combines modern technology with Antigua’s traditional coffee production techniques.
The Swiss Water® Process uses pure green coffee extract and proprietary carbon technology to remove caffeine from green coffee beans. Swiss Water® has specified the pore size of the carbon to match the caffeine molecule to ensure only the caffeine is trapped when the caffeine is captured from the green coffee extract. During the Swiss Water process, the green coffee is hydrated to expand the beans for caffeine extraction. The hydrated green coffee is then introduced to Green Coffee Extract (GCE), a unique solution of concentrated coffee solubles that allows the caffeine to leave the green coffee via osmosis while minimizing the loss of desired flavor compounds. Once the caffeine has been removed the green coffee is re-dried and re-bagged for transport, and the GCE is filtered of its caffeine through proprietary carbon filters and recycled to be used again. The Swiss Water® Process is certified organic and 100% chemical free.
