I wonder how (not) far the coffee industry might have gone without caffeine to kick it off in the first place. Ah, the circle of life ~~coffee~ ~ caffeine
Interesting. I’m not sure I want fully decaf coffee, but I could see some people might want it.
I metabolize caffeine quickly. So I’m one of those that can drink coffee and it doesn’t affect my sleep. I never get hyped up from it. Never have, even when I first started drinking it. But I am addicted. I get the classic headaches if I don’t have it. So it might be nice to taper off caffeine.
I’m one of those people who would want this. I still enjoy coffee but since quitting caffeine several years ago I’ve become hyper sensitive to it so even decaf can potentially keep me up. It would be nice to have a decaf that was even more decaf, then I can have coffee whenever I want without worrying about my sleep schedule. I definitely recommend tapering off caffeine, it’s actually extremely powerful when you’re not slamming your body with 250mg at a time for years on end. Getting used to lower and less frequent doses before quitting was a lot less unpleasant than trying to quit when I was still drinking coffee and energy drinks all the time.
Wait what?
What would be the point of coffee beans that do not have caffeine in them?Right now the process of decaffinating beans significantly impacts the flavor. If you could grow a “decaffeinated” bean, in theory it would taste better.
As one example, I enjoy the taste of coffee, but I have to avoid caffeine in general since it gives me bad heartburn. Stupid body.
