Decaffeination occurs with the green beans after they are picked. First, they dry them in the sun, usually. Once dried, they can then do one of 3 different processes. The best process is water decaffeination. It's natural and works well.

The second best is one called 'natural decaffeination' which involves using carbon monoxide. I would only choose this type IF the water process wasn't available.

The third type is chemical decaffeination, which I don't like and don't recommend. You can smell the chemicals and who wants to drink them anyway?

I roast decaf coffee for myself and the regular stuff for my husband and our customers. I occasionally will drink regular coffee, but feel the decaf is better for me. I only roast the water processed variety.

Coffee is fascinating! Thank you for stopping by and commenting! !DIY
