It is important to know how your coffee is decaffeinated. For example, one method is the direct method which uses methylene chloride in the process. Methylene chloride is also used in paint strippers and degreasers. This chemical was also banned by the FDA for use in hairsprays and cosmetics, but is still in use for decaffeinating coffee...hmmm. Now, I am not an expert on the decaffeination process or the justification for the chemicals continued use, but I encourage you to do your own research and decide accordingly!! This coffee is not only organic but uses a Swiss water process to decafinate. I use this coffee in my Rancilio espresso machine, and it makes an excellent cup of coffee. We found that with most decaf coffees, it is harder to get nice crema. With this stuff, the golden crema flows nicely:). It has an excellent flavor, but if you are looking for a super strong dark roast, this may be a little light for you. This is now our go to daily coffee.
