Frequently Asked Questions

Also, decaffeinated coffee still contains caffeine, in varying degrees. If you want a hot drink, try hot apple juice or warm milk - they're delicious.

At the top of the list, as far as teas go, there are black teas (your regular run of the mill teas), which are the worst, containing the most caffeine.

The decaffeination process starts by increasing the moisture content of the green (unroasted) coffee beans, to make it easier to remove the caffeine. Then one of several solvents is used to extract the caffeine. The solvents are safe and meet FDA standards for coffees sold in the U.S. The flavor of decaffeinated coffee depends on the quality of the beans, the blend, the roasting technique and the decaffeination method. All decaffeination methods remove 97-99% of the caffeine.

Is there more than one type of Decaffeinated coffee?

Green beans are soaked in hot water to draw out the caffeine. After soaking, the water is drained off and treated with methylene chloride, a solvent that binds with the caffeine. The solvent and caffeine are removed by heating the solution and the remaining water is returned to the beans and reabsorbed. The green beans are then roasted at temperatures above 400 F and since methylene chloride evaporates at 100 F, there is no trace remaining in the finished product.

Coffee Types - Why Decaffeinated?

I love above all else to drink coffee, but I am still totally baffled why anyone would drink decaffeinated varieties. What about the needed and pleasurable caffeine rush? What would possess anyone in his or her right state of mind to give up on a good espresso for that dribble? Does this not take away the whole reason for drinking a decent cup of delicious coffee? I was soon to learn why this drudgery even existed. As I discovered pregnancy, I quickly developed a new taste for it.
