Furthermore, remarkable expertise has also been acquired on the roasting process, attaining 2nd SCAE level (Speciality Coffee Association of Europe), and a diploma on the analysis of green coffee.

The quality system certification process involves increased control so as to ensure improved performance for each customer, resulting in an excellent cup of decaf.
The first step is a visual evaluation of green decaffeinated beans, after a sample is roasted and ground, the coffee is percolated using the espresso method. Then several organoleptic characteristics are evaluated in bitter and sweet cups of the coffee, and after a positive response from the panel of tasters the order is considered ready for delivery.
