Mainstay • Decaf
Decaffeination is a post-harvest process where caffeine is removed from unroasted, green coffee. Two categories of decaffeination exist: chemical and water decaffeination.
A chemical decaf method involves green coffee being soaked in chemicals that will remove a coffee’s caffeine.
A water decaf method involves soaking green coffee in water to create a green coffee extract, decaffeinating the extract via carbon filtration and soaking fresh green coffee in the decaffeinated extract where caffeine diffuses from the green coffee into the extract.
