While the coffee beans are still in a green state (before roasting) the coffee beans are soaked in mountain water which leeches the majority of the caffeine from the beans. This liquid, just jumping with loads of caffeine, is then processed through carbon filters to remove the caffeine (I believe this is a trade secret as to how they do this). The beans are then returned to the water to reabsorb any coffee flavor that may have been removed. This makes for a more flavorful decaf bean (is that a conundrum?) than some chemical processes, which many say gives the coffee a bitter aftertaste…not a good thing with coffee!
Okay, are you ready for this? The caffeine is then sold to companies such as Cokola (using a random name to prevent legal ramifications), and Mountain Water Dew (so that’s where that name comes from!), where the caffeine is ADDED to their soft drinks. Cokola and Mountain Water Dew (and many others) in the beginning contain NO caffeine, thus there is no such thing as decaf Cokola or Mountain Water Dew, since you can’t decaffeinate something that never had caffeine to start with. There IS such a thing as caffeine free (or uncaffeinated) Cokola and Mountain Water Dew, since no caffeine was added to it. Make sense? Isn’t that just the coolest thing. I believe other products that use caffeine in this manner include aspirins.
I’m still learning about all these wonders of the coffee and tea business, which means I CAN be proven wrong. I am inviting a friend of mine, Joseph Rivera, who IS a coffee scientist to give his input on this matter. He’s such a scientist that his company logo includes the scientific equation for coffee. Keep an eye on this blog for his input. And as always, thanks for Keeping it Fresh!
*I understand a few trials are underway with cultivation of “caffeine free” plants being grown and tested, but the results thus far have been less than enjoyable!
Wilkinson's of Norwich coffees are now on grocery store shelves! Southern Family Markets (aka Piggly Wiggly) are now carrying our Brewton Brew, Wilkinson's House Blend, and Costa Rica Tarrazu coffees. We are currently stocked in both the Brewton, Alabama and Atmore, Alabama locations, and hope to expand into more as word gets out about our attention to fresh coffees.
Wilkinson's of Norwich USA is getting some awesome feedback about how great our Pumpkin Spice flavored coffee is! For all our flavored coffees, we use a chemical free flavoring called PowerGrind which has natural flavors infused into the actual ground coffee in high concentrations. Just a wee bit added to freshly roasted coffee gives it a natural, smooth tasting touch of flavor. Serve your guests a warm and creamy cup of Pumpkin Spice flavored coffee and they'll remember your hospitality long after the turkey has gobbled. Pumpkin Spice coffee is an obvious partner with pie, or perhaps a fresh slice of pumpkin bread, but simply served by itself this all-naturally-flavored Pumpkin Spice coffee will tickle your palate with all the seasonal tastes you expect. Add a dollop of freshly whipped cream and a dusting of cinnamon or chocolate…you'll give thanks to your taste buds all season! Supply is limited, so order soon!
Happy Thanksgiving, and as always, keep it fresh!
