    In The News: Decaf Safety

    There have been recent concerns in the news about the safety of a chemical, Methylene Chloride, that many coffee roasters and popular brands use to decaffeinate coffee. This method is popular because it’s considerably cheaper and faster than other decaffeination processes.

    The decaf coffee we roast is not impacted by this. We have always used coffee decaffeinated by the “Swiss Water Process” in which only pure water is used to decaffeinate beans. It’s the key reason why our decafs taste better.
