Decaffeinated coffee

For those who prefer decaf coffee, we offer decaf coffee. Caffeinated raw beans are shipped from the country of origin to the decaffeinated factory and then to the baking plant.

Coffee is made up of thousands of different compounds, caffeine is one of them. The challenge is to remove caffeine from coffee beans without affecting other flavor-shaping compounds, or to minimize the impact, because caffeine is water-soluble and each different decaffeinated method is extracted with water. Water also extracts many other compounds, including flavor-shaping sugars and proteins.

There are many reasons for the variation of caffeine content in a cup of coffee, including raw beans, planting areas, roasting methods, conditioning methods, coffee to water ratio, grinding, coffee cup size and beverage type (conditioning, espresso, etc.).

Natural caffeine removal process

The coffee flavor is well preserved by using carbon dioxide and ultra-pure water temperature to gently remove caffeine.

The process begins by soaking raw coffee beans in sealed water in stainless steel cans. Liquid carbon dioxide is poured into coffee cans under high pressure to dissolve and extract caffeine as a solvent, retaining a large number of flavor molecules.

Our current supply of decaffeinated espresso roasted coffee still uses natural decaffeinated processing. After caffeine is removed, the coffee is transported to the destination of the baking plant. Upon arrival, the coffee samples will be sent to the coffee raw bean quality team for baking and tasting, and then continue the coffee raw bean delivery process.
