The best decaf coffee on the planet. Your cup of Lifeboost Dark Roast Decaf Coffee comes from coffee beans that have been individually hand selected as the premium bean(s) of a harvest. Your coffee beans are lovingly cultivated by local farmers, after being grown slowly to full maturity in mountain shade. Your beans are hand-picked one at a time to provide the highest in Gourmet blends, and then fermented for 26 hours so the skin can be carefully removed without damaging the seed No pesticides are ever used. Next, your beans are spring water washed, then slowly sun-dried until they have the perfect humidity content of 11.5%. Finally, your beans transition into a 30-day “rest” period, which allows the beans to slowly complete their taste-enhancing richness. You literally are getting the “cream of the crop” in layman’s terms. Hand picked, spring water washed, sun-dried Hand roasted 3rd party tested for mycotoxins, heavy metals, acrylamides, pesticides + 400 other toxins! Mountain shade grown Single Origin, 100% Arabica Bean Decaffeinated by Swiss water method Healthy Coffee How is our coffee decaffeinated? Chemical free, that's how: The 100% chemical-free Swiss Water Process begins by soaking high-quality green coffee beans in pure clean water to create what we call “flavor-charged water” a Green Coffee Extract (GCE). This step occurs only once, and these original beans are then discarded. The flavor-charged water GCE is then run through a carbon filter, which traps only the caffeine molecules in the carbon’s pores. Next, the flavor-charged water GCE, now decaffeinated, is circulated over the green coffee beans. The caffeine, not the coffee’s inherent flavors, naturally flows out of the beans – simple diffusion. Because the water GCE is already saturated with natural coffee flavor components, any possible coffee flavor crossover or removal that might occur is held to an absolute minimum. This is why the Swiss Water Process maintains coffee flavor and complexity so accurately, without adding foreign “process” flavors to the coffees. From the heart of the Americas to your morning cup, the world’s most exquisite, richest, 100% Arábica beans have been roasted to perfection. Mountain shade grown, hand picked, spring water washed, sun dried, and roasted and packed when ordered. It doesn’t get any better. Our # 1 attribute is QUALITY. Our farms and acreage have always been maintained with the highest respect for the land and surrounding environment. The mountains of Nicaragua is where only the highest varieties of Arábica and Maragogipe bean are grown. Pesticides are not used. The ripening process is slow to guarantee the final product has all the organo-leptic properties of a world-class coffee. It’s unique washing, sun drying, and humidity process, combined with a “rest” period for the beans, are only a few of the “secrets” to this——-the finest gourmet coffee on the planet. The roasting process of Lifeboost Coffee separates us from all the other coffees you will find. A bird-lover, naturally Michelle loves wearing floppy hats and anything fringy. She grows her own vegetables and (friends say) bakes the world’s best vegan cupcakes. A self-professed aviphile, she strolls in for morning coffee after filling her collection of bird feeders (12, at last count), cheeks pink from the fresh morning air. Pouring coffee into her vintage owl-shaped mug, she takes in the rich, earthy aroma. Sipping slowly, a satisfied smile as she remembers a cheerful little Chickadee this morning with its pure song: “Fee-bee!”… Our dark roast “cof-fee” has pure notes, too. A full-bodied roast with a distinctive aroma that greets you after brewing and lingers with every sip. And Michelle loves that the beans grow without pesticides, friendly to the birds and the environment. The experienced eye, nose, and hand of the master roasters will guarantee you the best of the best. That is our promise. Thank you………Muchas Gracias………for trying our coffee!
