“In the early 1930's, a chemical free decaffeination method was discovered in Switzerland. The breakthrough - using water! The decaffeination process was introduced to the marketplace almost 50 years later when technology was able to effectively and efficiently replicate the concepts and ideas first developed in the 30's.
In 1988, the SWISS WATER® Process was introduced to the market. This came about as a new facility located near Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada - a region prized for its pure water - was completed.
Today, SWISS WATER® Process remains the world's only consumer branded decaffeinator - 100% chemical free, never using methylene chloride or ethyl acetate to decaffeinate coffee. We are certified organic by the OCIA in accordance with standards developed by the US National Organic Program.” (Source: www.swisswater.com)
