Our 97 Percent decaffeinated ground coffee is produced using carbon dioxide, the finest and purest method of decaffeination available in the world today. Our unique blend of high-grown South American coffees has a richness and taste that is uncompromised by the decaffeination process. The reason is simple: carbon dioxide is a gas that leaves no bitter chemical taste or undesirable flavor, thereby allowing the full coffee richness to come through in the cup.
