Decaf

Why You'll Love It: Our single origin organic decaf is sweet and complex beyond all expectations. Creamy chocolate and dried fruit flavors create an unbelievable caffeine-free experience. The Story of the Bean: Luna Azul Organic is grown at high altitudes in the rich soil of western Honduras, where only the ripest cherries are harvested and meticulous care is given when milling and drying. The beans are then painstakingly sorted to ensure only those meeting exact specifications are given the Luna Azul name before undergoing one final step - water processed decaffeination.

Bean Source Country: Honduras
Honduran specialty coffee is distinguished by its diverse growing regions, such as Copán, Santa Bárbara, and Comayagua, each offering distinct flavor profiles due to the country's varied microclimates and elevations. Coffee from Honduras often features bright acidity, medium body, and a range of flavors, including fruity, nutty, and chocolatey notes.
Decaf
Decaffeinated coffee has undergone a process to remove most of the caffeine content while preserving its flavor and aroma. There are three primary decaffeination methods. The solvent-based method involves soaking coffee beans in water to dissolve the caffeine, followed by adding a solvent, such as methylene chloride or ethyl acetate, to bind to the caffeine molecules selectively. The Swiss Water Process (SWP) is a chemical-free method that relies on the principles of solubility and osmosis. Finally, the carbon dioxide method involves using supercritical carbon dioxide to extract caffeine from the coffee beans. Decaf coffee typically retains most of the flavor and aroma of regular coffee but with a significantly reduced caffeine content (around 2-3%).
