I've noticed that decaf coffees produced with the Swiss Water process share an odd consistent "note" not typically noticeable in coffee. It's sort of "chemical"-ish, I guess—but Swiss Water doesn't use solvents. Wonder why? Maybe from reusing green coffee solutions?

Right—the green coffee solution is only isotonic when averaged across all coffees, so it'll mute variations between coffees.
