What process do you use to remove caffeine from your decaffeinated coffees? |
|
|
Equal Exchange coffee is decaffeinated using a process called CR3 Natural Liquid Carbon Dioxide Decaffeination.
Unroasted coffee is moistened with water and pressurized in a chamber with liquid carbon dioxide, which draws the caffeine out of the bean. The CO2 is circulated through an evaporator to separate the caffeine from the CO2. The CO2 is then recondensed and recirculated through the coffee. This cycle repeats until the decaffeination is complete. The coffee is then dried to return it to its original moisture content.
The benefits of this process:
- the flavor of the coffee is unaffected
- the chemicals in the process (carbon dioxide and water) are all natural, and pose no risk to human health
- it is certified organic and kosher
