Dark Roast Organic Decaf Coffee - Whole Bean Breakfast Blend Selection

What is organic decaf coffee? Well, the answer is very simple; it is the organically grown coffee where the percentage of caffeine is reduced to almost nil. Yes, this is what organic decaf coffee is all about but you may need to know further about the production and what the word ‘organic’ stands for in the title.

When we take a look at the way coffee is cultivated in the recent times, we will get to know that they have used the help of artificial pesticides and fertilizers to cultivate it in large quantities. When we consume such a coffee we are on the risk of having plenty of chemicals which are extremely dangerous to our body.

These chemicals can pose extremely serious threats to your health. Cancer and other sort of illness are in the offing if you consume excess of such coffee. However, most of the countries including US have strict policies against the inorganic coffee produced in their country.

It doesn’t seem to work when they import coffee from other countries. Here comes the need to verify that you are indeed having a coffee which is verified as organic. Besides posing threats to our health inorganic coffee poses huge threat to the existence of the environment. It turns the soil into useless mode where these artificial fertilizers kill the natural nutrients present in the soil. Such a soil will be useful for nothing and it can be highly dangerous to animals as well. It could also lead to erratic climatic conditions which can make our lives extremely adverse.

In this scenario "go green" movement has started taking initiative and people realized the importance of going back to the organic ways of farming which our ancestors have been used to. As part of this movement, fair trade system came in to existence and this ensured a minimum price for the farmers hence saving them from poverty as well as saving the rest of the world. Therefore having organic coffee is part of a bigger movement which has grown beyond expectation owing to the present scenario.

Now let’s take a look at the importance of having coffee without caffeine in it; and in turn we’ll see how important it is to consume organic decaf coffee. How dangerous is caffeine? Though it is not dangerous in small doses the extreme dose can make way for many troubles such as anxiety, high blood pressure, loss of appetite, irritation, fatigue, insomnia, chronic pains etc. Therefore it is important watch your caffeine addiction as it can go beyond worse after a certain period. Tea also has got caffeine but the amount is less when we compare it with coffee and it’s been said that the excess use of tea also can cause troubles.

If that is the case we can see that coffee could be troublesome if we don’t pay attention to the amount of coffee we consume. For this reason decaffeinating of coffee is extremely important and you should consume organic decaf coffee only. It should be noted that, though decaffeinated, decaf coffee has all the antioxidant it is supposed to have. According to the US Food and Drug Administration, the decaf coffee should have only 1% caffeine and this amount is safe. You don’t compromise much on the enjoyment either when you use organic decaf coffee.

As we have just seen, the organic decaf coffee is indeed the best coffee you can have. You can have the coffee which is free of caffeine as well as the dangerous chemicals. The organic farming helps you enjoy an extremely safe drink, which you also can’t live without. Coffee selection is extremely important here. There is dark roast as well as light roast available.

Let’s take a look at the way in which it is decaffeinated. It should be noted that the 100% removal of the caffeine is almost impossible but you can surely come very close to it. Like we said earlier, a 99% caffeine free coffee is called decaf coffee. Though it would look like it is a tough job, it is really a simple task in reality as caffeine is water soluble and we can easily remove it with the help of water. However, it has to be done carefully if you want to retain the flavour of coffee. Either we could use steam or water at extremely high temperature. The traditional method is to use methyl chloride.

During steaming process, the molecules of methyl chloride and caffeine attract and the caffeine can be easily removed from the coffee beans. Another important method is called Swiss Water process; which is also considered to be the safest method. During the steaming process, a charcoal filter removes the caffeine from the coffee beans. It is considered to be safe for the reason that it doesn’t use any chemical solvent unlike methyl chloride method.

Organic decaf coffee is highly in demand and it can be safely used by those who are advised not to use fearing health complications. Since the amount of caffeine is almost zero and it is cultivated in highly organic manner, it is one of the most favourite coffees. You should use organic decaf coffee in place of gourmet coffee.
