In discussing decaffeinated coffee, we should first bring awareness o the fact that arabic beans are 50% lower in caffeine that robusta beans to start -- lower priced "canned coffees" are actually higher in caffeine than high grown arabica specialty brews! AND, dark roasting actually reduces the level of caffeine!
We haven't been able to "grow" decaf trees YET, although, they're working on it. After beans are harvested, they are taken to decaffeination plants for processing. Decaffeination processes generally remove 50% of the caffeine and with that goes 50% of the aroma and taste. We try to find coffees that are rich enough and flavorful enough that the effect will be minimized.
Mocha Java SWP Decaf
A blend of high grown Ethiopian and Java beans, decaffeinated according to the Swiss Water Process, make for a heavy and aromatic brew that was processed free of chemicals. Satisfying and rich, you'll still enjoy the experience -- caffeine reduced, chemcial free.
