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
Wait what?
What would be the point of coffee beans that do not have caffeine in them?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.
Right now the process of decaffinating beans significantly impacts the flavor. If you could grow a “decaffeinated” bean, in theory it would taste better.
oh wait, excuse my ignorance
I was under impression that this is somehow relevant to the classic coffee beverages
I completely forgot about the whole “decaf” thing, as I drink coffee only because of what caffeine does to medeleted by creator
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.
