This medium roast decaffeinated whole bean coffee is a warm and inviting blend of butterscotch, caramel and hazelnut flavoring. Many people have told us they have stopped using creamer and sugar in their coffee after discovering the rich flavor of Mississippi Grogg®, our most popular flavored coffee. This water process decaf blend utilizes our highest-grade specialty decaf beans which are naturally decaffeinated via the Swiss Water® Process. This ensures a full-bodied flavor without the chemical aftertaste common to most decaf coffees.
Most flavored coffees are built on low-quality beans with heavy additives, but ours are different. We craft every batch with premium Arabica beans, creating a smooth, flavorful cup where the coffee itself still shines.

Coffee drinkers deserve a choice in how their coffee is decaffeinated.
Swiss Water® Process
The Swiss Water® Process is a sustainable, transparent decaffeination method using water and the natural compounds in green coffee to gently remove caffeine—without leaving the residue chemical solvents do. It preserves the unique origin flavors, taste, and characteristics of the bean, resulting in amazing coffee without caffeine.
A commitment to superior quality and a sustainable process.
Naturally Decaffeinated
Swiss Water is unique among coffee decaffeination companies—and is the only one to be exclusively focused on a chemical-free method. Most decaffeinated coffee is processed using chemical solvents. These processes impart chemical residues that can alter the taste of the coffee, and are ultimately consumed into the body, even if only in small amounts.
The chemical-free choice for coffee lovers.
Uncompromised Taste
Swiss Water believes you should have a choice that is entirely free of added chemical residuals, and one which results in an amazing cup of decaf— because taking control of your caffeine (or chemical) intake should never be a compromise in taste—or values.
Crafting Amazing Coffee Without Caffeine
The process of decaffeination does not use chemicals of any kind to remove the caffeine from the coffee beans. The Swiss Water® Process relies instead on solubility and osmosis. This process creates a coffee bean using the three elements of water, temperature and time to create a coffee that is 99.9% caffeine-free.
Extracting Caffeine, Preserving Flavor
It starts with soaking a batch of green coffee beans in hot water to dissolve the caffeine. The water is removed from the beans and passed through an activated charcoal filter which only allows the capture of the caffeine molecules. The important oil and flavor molecules get to stay in the water.
Flavor Retention & Repeat Decaffeination
This water is kept in a tank and the original beans are thrown away. This flavorful caffeine-free water is reused to remove caffeine from a new batch of green beans. The process starts again with the soaking of a new batch of beans in the caffeine-free flavorful water only allowing the dissolving of the caffeine in the beans while not losing all the important flavors.

Mississippi Grogg®
Born in Dubuque, Iowa
The Mississippi River is the largest river system in North America at over 2,000 miles long. It provides partial borders for 10 states including Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin and extends from Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico. Throughout history, the Mississippi River has been a crucial route of navigation through the center of North America. Beginning in the 19th century, dams were constructed on the river to facilitate a constant flow of barge traffic connecting the Mississippi Basin to the Gulf Coast. Aside from its rich history of Americana, the Mississippi today hosts everything from barges to jet skis to yachts and serves many purposes for the communities it touches.

FAQs
What makes Verena Street’s coffee different from other specialty coffee brands?
Verena Street® coffee is roasted in small batches for maximum freshness and smooth, balanced flavor. We focus on approachable blends and flavored coffees that deliver specialty quality at an everyday price, with certifications like Rainforest Alliance and Swiss Water® Process decaf for sustainability and purity.
What flavors are in Mississippi Grogg® decaf coffee?
It features sweet notes of butterscotch, caramel, and hazelnut.
Does flavored coffee have sugar or calories?
No — flavored beans are coated with natural and/or artificial flavor oils after roasting. These oils do not add sugar or calories, so the coffee itself remains virtually calorie-free unless you add cream or sweetener.
How is the flavor added to Mississippi Grogg® Decaf coffee?
The butterscotch, caramel, and hazelnut notes are infused using flavoring oils that coat the beans after roasting. This process enhances the aroma and taste while leaving the base coffee’s caffeine and strength unchanged.
Does decaf coffee still taste like regular coffee?
Yes, Mississippi Grogg® decaf retains both its flavoring and its rich coffee base flavor due to the Swiss Water® process of decaffeination.
What is the best way to keep coffee fresh at home?
To keep coffee fresh, store it in an airtight container at room temperature, away from light, heat, moisture, and strong odors. Proper storage helps preserve the beans’ natural flavors and aromas.
