The Specialty Coffee industry has enjoyed phenomenal growth during the past several years. This has resulted in an informed consumer who demands a top quality product that is healthy and natural. One segment that has responded is the decaffeinated coffee market. For decades, decaf coffee was a poor imatation of richly flavored regualr coffee. The cause was the old decaffeination methods which mainly used chemicals and rmoved much of the flavor.
This prompted research into better, more advanced ways to decaffeinate.
The result is our patented All Natural Liquid Carbon Dioxide (CO20 Decaffeination Process. The process incorporates only water (to moisturize the coffee bean and thus make the coffee bean and thus make the caffeine accessible for removal), and CO2 - both vital elements of our natural environment. But not only is liquid CO2 natural, it's also selective! It gently absorbs the caffeine contained in coffee, and carries it away while leaving oil and other flavor components intact. Once the coffee is 99.9% caffeine free, it is dried and ready for roasting. Our process removes the caffeine and leave the flavor. Naturally!
