In the early 1930s, a chemical
free decaffeination method was discovered in Switzerland. The
secret ingredient? Water!
The water process was revitalized almost 40 years later when
technology finally caught up to the ideas first developed in the
late 30s.
In 1989 a new facility, the only SWISS WATER®
decaffeination process facility in the world, was built near
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, a region prized for its pure
water.
Previously owned by Kraft General Foods, the Swiss Water
Decaffeinated Coffee Company is a certified organic decaffeinator
and is a public company that is traded on the
Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) under the symbol SWS.UN.

Today,
the 100% chemical free, patented SWISS WATER®
Process is used by premium roasters and demanded by discerning
decaf drinkers around the world. We decaffeinate coffee
to a 97% caffeine removal standard, in compliance with US FDA
guidelines, which is equivalent to the Canadian/International
standard of 99.9% caffeine free.
Our water processed decaf coffee is used by roasters
and retailers in many countries, including the USA, Canada, the UK,
Australia, Japan, and Spain to name a few.
