100% Arabica Decaffeinated Coffee, Ground Organic Aquae

Peruvian Arabica coffees from Chanchamayo, decaffeinated using a natural water method — caffeine less than 0,10%

The pleasure of coffee, all in one: floral aroma, round body, honey and toasted almonds

Morettino's Aquae

Aquae proves that decaf doesn't have to mean sacrifice. It's made from a selection of organic Peruvian Arabica beans from the Chanchamayo region—a single origin, not a makeshift blend—decaffeinated using a natural water method, a process that removes caffeine without using chemical solvents and without diminishing the bean's aromatic richness. The result is a balanced and aromatic coffee, rounded in body, with a floral aroma and hints of honey and toasted almonds. The name says it all: water is the only ingredient, and what remains in the cup is the coffee that was there before.
 
 
 

The roots of this coffee sink into the water that knows how to choose

Removing caffeine while preserving aroma is one of the most fascinating problems in food technology. The first methods, developed in the early twentieth century, relied on organic solvents; the water method, much more recent and delicate, works elegantly: the green beans are immersed in water, which extracts both the caffeine and the soluble aromatic compounds; this solution is then filtered through activated carbon, which retains only the caffeine molecules, and the remaining water—now saturated with aromas but devoid of caffeine—is reintroduced into contact with new beans. Unable to absorb other aromas, the beans release only the caffeine and preserve their aroma. No solvents, just a physical principle and a lot of patience. This is why Morettino also chooses this approach for its organic line: because it is consistent with a concept of coffee that does not involve shortcuts at any stage, from plantation to cup.

How to Best Use: Aquae Decaffeinated Coffee

• COFFEE AFTER DINNER, WITHOUT WORRIES: it's its natural moment — close the day with a cup of moka accompanied by a Organic Ancient Grains and Almonds Biscuit, which recalls the toasted almond accents, or from a square of Organic Milk Chocolate.
• IN THE ROUTINE OF THOSE WHO HAVE REDUCED CAFFEINE: perfect for the afternoon, during pregnancy or for those who are simply sensitive to stimulants — alternate it with Repas Relax Organic Digestive Herbal Tea or to Organic Chamomile Herbal Tea for a break without sacrifices.
• IN COFFEE DESSERTS AND AFTERNOON CAPPUCCINOS: the round body makes it excellent with milk and in sweet preparations — use it for creams and tiramisu, or whip it in a cappuccino with Organic Hazelnut Cream with Milk spread on toast.

The Producer: Morettino

Since 1920, in Palermo, Morettino has practiced slow, eco-friendly roasting that respects the character of each origin.

Food container

Store the package tightly closed in a cool, dry place, away from light and strong-smelling foods: ground coffee easily absorbs odors. Avoid the refrigerator, where humidity and temperature fluctuations compromise the aroma. Once opened, consume within a few weeks to fully enjoy the floral bouquet.
