The Swiss Water process is an organic, 100% chemical-free option for decaffeination. It was discovered in the 1930s in Schaffhausen, Switzerland, and is commercialised by the Swiss Water Decaffeinated Coffee Company Inc, founded in 1988. This method does not require the addition of chemicals, instead relying on a super saturated green coffee solution called Green Coffee Extract (GCE).To decaffeinate coffee, fresh GCE is introduced to a batch of green coffee. As the GCE is already saturated with all the water-soluble compounds found in green coffee, minus the caffeine, the matching molecules won’t diffuse out of the coffee beans—but the caffeine will. The flavour is retained in the beans while the caffeine is removed.Thanks to some scientific smarts and creativity, it’s possible to have decaf coffee that tastes the same – just without the caffeine!

Colombia is the second-largest producer of coffee in the world and the largest producer of washed and Arabica coffees.  Annually, Colombia exports approximately 12.5 million bags and consumes 2 million bags internally.

Colombia only produces washed Arabica coffee. There are three primary varieties grown in Colombia, and the coffee is referred to by the region in which it is grown.

"Excelso" is a grading term for exportable coffee from Colombia, not related to variety or cupping profile. EP (European Preparation) specifies that the raw beans are all hand sorted to remove any defective beans and foreign material.

This coffee produces zesty caramel and chocolate with crisp citrus lemon acidity with a buttery finish and works great for people that really enjoy a coffee after a meal but do not want that caffeine kick.

Belfast Coffee Roasters started on the back of a business relationship in 2017. In April 2018 we started roasting coffee in the original industrial heartland of Belfast. We are based in what was originally the Soho Foundry in Townsend Street, Belfast. This industrial area of Belfast was the reason why the population of the city went from 20,000 to 200,000 in the 19th Century.

We were not coffee roasters by trade,  but had a focus to learn and grow not just our own coffee knowledge but also the greater coffee community.

As a small batch coffee roaster we are able to adapt our offering to our customer base large and small.

Everything we do is based on our relationships with our coffee farming partners. We work as hard as we can to create transparent trading opportunities to enable sustainable, long-term and ethical relationships.

We roast in small batches to deliver the distinct flavours in each coffee. We strive to produce high quality, freshly roasted coffee beans.
