Collection: Decaffeinated coffee

Caffeine acts as a central nervous system stimulant: it increases alertness and concentration, reduces fatigue and even improves brain absorption. It is a powerful natural chemical that works quickly and effectively. For these reasons, this substance is a common ingredient in medications to treat or manage drowsiness, headaches, and migraines. A headache or migraine is accompanied by dilated blood vessels, and caffeine has the opposite effect of reducing inflammation and constricting blood vessels.

​

Although the benefits of caffeine are undeniable, decaffeinated coffee is becoming increasingly popular precisely because of concerns about the negative effects of caffeine on health. With coffee, caffeine travels throughout our body, so if you drink too much of the delicious drink, it can increase nervousness, reflux, headache, flickering in the eyes, increased heart rate, insomnia, etc. If you experience any negative symptoms after consuming caffeine, opt for decaffeinated coffee instead.

Decaffeinated coffee can be chosen for many different reasons: caffeine intolerance, high blood pressure, pregnancy, etc. Unfortunately, decaffeinated coffee is still surrounded by countless myths - it is notorious for being tasteless and not the healthiest alternative to regular coffee. This is because the first methods of decaffeinating coffee beans were based on the use of chemicals, and along with the caffeine, a significant amount of the flavoring substances were removed from the coffee.

​

Fortunately, we now have processes in place to ensure that even after the caffeine is removed, the coffee retains its original aroma and taste. These days, there are not only delicious decaffeinated coffees, but also options at an attractive price.

​

The biggest challenge in any decaffeination process is to separate the caffeine from the coffee beans in such a way that the other substances remain at their original concentration, meaning there is no effect on the taste! As the demand for decaffeinated coffee is constantly growing, the quality of decaffeination processes is also improving - it is becoming more and more difficult to distinguish regular coffee from decaffeinated coffee.

​

These days, the health-threatening methods of caffeine removal are no longer used. The most popular today are the Swiss water method and the CO2 process. Both the SWP and CO2 methods have gained popularity precisely because they are safe for health and keep the taste characteristics of the coffee unchanged.
