HOW DECAF COFFEE IS MADE

Making decaf coffee beans entails taking green coffee beans, soaking, or steaming them until the caffeine is dissolved or their pores are opened and then extracting the caffeine from the green coffee beans.

The Swiss Water and Mountain Water Process of decaffeination tend to produce the most flavorful coffees, Ristenpart says, because they are good at removing caffeine without stripping other flavors from the green coffee beans. However, it’s more expensive to use the Swiss Water Process and Mountain Water Process to remove caffeine from coffee beans and the process is difficult to produce at scale. 

How much caffeine in decaf coffee? This is a question we are asked and it's important to note that none of these methods completely scrubs the coffee beans of caffeine. Usually, 97 percent of caffeine is removed from coffee beans, however, decaffeinated coffees can still contain between 3 and 12 mg of caffeine per cup of coffee.

 

The Coffee Business

Coffee is a challenging business and owning a Coffee Roastery, manufacturing facility and a few coffee shops does add to the stress. However, we have nothing but respect for anyone involved in the art of growing, importing, brokering, roasting, brewing, and selling coffees by the pound or cup.  We are focused on coffee and on taking care of our staff, because it is all about our people and properly serving our customers, whom we adore because they are fiercely loyal and stand by us through thick and thin. Yes, we love you and if you are looking for consistently wonderful decaf coffee your search is over.


 

Fair Trade Coffee

One thing we do is source Fair Trade Certified Coffee. We source beautiful Arabica Fair Trade coffee beans from along the equatorial belt and in sourcing these Fair Trade Certified coffee beans we find a way to give back. Weaver’s Astral Blend Coffee contains a percentage of Ethiopian Coffee from the OCFCU – OROMIA COFFEE FARMERS COOPERATIVE UNION. The purchase of coffee from OCFCU has created the resources for improvements for their community in areas such as education, healthcare and access to clean water. See the table below. (Source: https://www.oromiacoffeeunion.org/life-improvement/)

Learning Something New Everyday

What I love about coffee is that I learn something new every day in the coffee business. The most important thing I have learned is that every purchase matters. If you, as a consumer, are willing to pay seven to ten cents more per cup of coffee for Fair Trade Certified coffees because it guarantees a coffee farmer and her family a better life then you are doing the right thing. If you would like to help a coffee farmer, spend a few minutes each day educating someone about the power of Fair Trade Certified Coffee because you can change the world if you just go out there and do it.
