The so-called decaf coffee, as its name implies, is coffee with only a small amount of caffeine. Coffee contains many ingredients and substances, among which caffeine has an obvious effect on the human body. For many people who are addicted to coffee but whose physical condition does not allow caffeine, decaf is the best choice.

In general, Arabica coffee beans contain 1.1% Murray 1.7% caffeine, while Robusta coffee beans contain 2% Murray 4.5% d caffeine. Decaf coffee is required to contain no more than 0.3% caffeine in brewed coffee. That means no more than 5 milligrams of caffeine in a cup of decaf.

The step of low-cause treatment can only be carried out in the state of sub-coffee and raw beans. Today, there are three main types of treatments to remove caffeine: traditional / European treatment (European Process), Swiss water treatment (SWP,Swiss Water Process), and CO supercritical Process (CO2 supercritical treatment). All three methods are very effective in removing most caffeine, and only 2% of the total amount of original caffeine remains in coffee beans.

Any method of removing caffeine is not a gentle way for raw beans. It would be unconvincing to say that these procedures will not harm or affect the flavor of decaf beans. As for the degree of influence, it depends on whether the handlers and the bakers who take over are delicate or not.

● Starbucks X DECAF Series

First, let's take a look at our most familiar star dad. From January 11, 2017, Starbucks in Japan began to test the waters to sell the "DECAF" series of coffee.

The biggest selling point is 99% decaffeinated Starbucks lattes.

This latte looks no different from an ordinary latte, but still retains the mellow aroma of coffee and has little difference in taste. According to official sources, this latte uses the "diacidized carbon extraction method" to remove more than 99% of the caffeine while preserving the delicacy of coffee.

P.s. Diacidified carbon extraction method: a large amount of carbon dioxide produced during roasting coffee beans becomes liquid after high pressure. After steam treatment, caffeine can be removed without affecting other substances in coffee beans.

Since it is called "DECAF" series of coffee, of course there is not only one kind of latte. Lu found on the menu (Decaf Lineup) that there are also hot and cold American coffee, latte, caramel macchiato, mocha, white mocha and cappuccino to choose from.

It seems that Starbucks intends to try more on the concept of decaf.

● MUJI X DECAF series

MUJI MUJI, which represents the quality of life, also has many "low-caffeine" products in the coffee product line, such as canned coffee (black sugar latte) and low-caffeine instant coffee powder are recommended.

In the vassal war of Japanese merchants, more and more brands are using low caffeine to convey the concept of "health, zero burden" in an attempt to infiltrate a wider range of consumers.

● LAWSON X MACHI CAFE

Also in 2017, Lawson MACHI Cafe launched 97% decaffeinated products, including ice, hot black coffee and ice and hot lattes.

Although it costs 50 yen more than regular coffee in the store, it is still well received by consumers who drink several cups of coffee a day or want to drink it at night.

● Ogawa Coffee X decaf mocha

The famous Ogawa Coffee (OGAWA) has always been the main sales force on the coffee line in Japanese supermarkets. This low-caffeinated mocha is very popular because of its warm, sweet taste and long finish, coupled with the concept of low caffeine.

● UCC X sugar-free low-caffeine series

Another famous brand, UCC, will not miss the concept of low caffeine, emphasizing the concept of health that reduces caffeine by 97% but is still delicious, even for pregnant or lactating mothers.

In addition to those famous brands, more and more coffee brands can be seen in Japanese supermarkets to launch low-caffeine products, starting with brewing, filter and powder packaging, making it convenient for users to drink whenever and wherever they want.

For example, MMC and UNICAFE have also launched low-caffeine brewing and filter products, emphasizing rich but mild flavors while also taking into account the need to reduce the burden on the body.
