Water Decaf Method
There are a few methods how to remove caffeine from coffee, but only a couple of them are truly natural, removing the stuff that deprives you of your sleep without using solvents. For this coffee, the Water Decaf Method was used, using only water to remove the caffeine.
No, it's not witchcraft, it's simply science. Here's how it works ...
Green coffee is fully submerged in heated filtered water. And you know water is the medium that extracts the good stuff from coffee, right (you should, as you use it for brewing your coffee). The hot water extracts all the soluble material from the beans. The next step is filtering the water solution (that's water with all the goodness from the coffee bean) through a carbon filter that stops the caffeine, but lets the flavor compounds pass through the filter.
The water is then placed in an immersion tank along with the green beans that slowly reabsorb the flavor compounds, but without the caffeine.
This process is able to remove 97% of the caffeine from the coffee, which is the industry standard. The 3% that are left behind are pretty much negligable. As for the flavor - the method is now so well established and sophisticated, that only a slight difference in flavor is notable. What you will notice though, is a darker color of the bean. But remeber: it's not the roast. It's the bean itself. Decafs (no matter the process) tend to be darker on the outside when roasted.
