Caffeine Content

An arabica coffee bean contains anywhere between 1% to 2.5% caffeine by volume.
Caffeine is a natural component of coffee beans, thus it is difficult to remove all of the caffeine.
At least 97% of the caffeine must be removed to qualify as decaffeinated in the United States.
We use multiple decaffeination processes for our beans so please do not hesitate to e-mail us questions as to which process was used on a particular varietal.
