„Do swiss water processed beans look different after roasting than other methods of decaffienation? See I ordered some SWP decaf coffee, they are the blackest and oiliest beans I have EVER seen. Plus they taste completely charred. The roaster I got them from insists that she in fact underroasted them, and they only look that way because they are SWP.“

„This is an "indirect" decaffeination method, Beans are soaked in near boiling water, extracting the flavor oils and caffeine from the coffee. The water is separated into a tank where it is forced through charcoal filters and generally stirred around in hot water to remove the caffeine. More flavor oils (colloids) are damaged/removed.“
