Coffeedence

Like a Rolling Stone….

By Journal

It was around  noon, and I was standing outside the Roastery of Coffeedence.

From the glass windows I could see Chris K. wearing the earphones, waiting with anticipation to hear the 1st roasting crack of Kenya Kirimara Specialty Coffee.

He was so concentrated in the procedure that he didn’t realize my entrance.

Yes, I had my most intense years of my childhood, until I decided, as a grown up man, to live my life probably in the most beautiful country in the world.

DRYING

By Processing
One of the most important stage of the processing is the drying. The moisture must be removed gently and consistently, neither too quickly nor too slowly. When the drying happens rapidly, there is usually and unevenness. When it happens slowly, tends to result in homogeneity of moisture content. Too much heat during the drying process (from mechanical dryers or direct sunlight) can damage the cell structure of the bean. Too little airflow, too many beans piled together, or humid conditions can overly extend the drying process, allowing fermentation, rot or mold to develop and negatively affect the flavor profile.

DECAFFEINATION

By Processing No Comments

Our decaffeination process is being made natural, with no chemicals used, via water process. The green coffee beans are immersed in water in order to extract the caffeine. To separate the caffeine from the water containing soluble components, the water passes through a special filter which removes the caffeine.  The water contains the soluble components of the coffee beans which hold the elements of the flavor, so that, during the extraction of the caffeine, the beans maintain their original components.. This results in ‘flavor charged water’ saturated with flavor components but free of caffeine, which is used again in the extraction process. As a result of this process they obtain coffee beans that are 99.9% caffeine free. Any coffee that has been decaffeinated will have a residual amount of caffeine left.
