All about organic decaf coffee beans.

In order to about organic decaf coffee beans first we have to know
what organic food means. Therefore the first paragraph will focus on the subject: what is organic food. Basically it is food which grown neturally, without using any chemicals which are used in agriculture. It could be artificial fertilizers, herbicides, pesticides or any other, none of this is allowed when growing organic.

About The benefits of organic coffee beans:

Organic coffee beans as well are grown naturally and thus considered being healthier. But there are more benefits which are less known when talking about organic coffee beans.
First many claims that organic coffee beans actually taste better .This is due to the fact
that no chemicals involve in the growing process .The argument is that there is more presence of natural flavors when growing the coffee naturally. However there are even more important benefits. The most important is the preservation of the ecosystem.
When using chemicals such as artificial fertilizers or pesticides there is a toxic runoff. By growing organic we can avoid this problem. The method of growing organic coffee beans is different. Mostly the organic coffee beans are "shade grown" that means growing in the shade of other trees or other vegetation found in jungles and forests and not in clear cut fields. When there is so much cutting of trees in modern life, it is very important. The coffee beans are fertilized by the birds and animals living in these forests and thus there is no need in using artificial fertilizers. These were some facts regarding organic coffee beans .Now let's talk about organic decaf coffee beans.

About Organic Decaf Coffee Beans: Removing the caffeine.

Many people though love organic coffee, prefer drinking it without caffeine.
For those people organic decaf coffee beans are the perfect choice. The process of
removing the caffeine from the bean is very interesting .In fact we are talking about five different methods of removing the caffeine from coffee beans: The Swiss water process,
the direct method, the indirect method, Carbon Dioxide Method and the Triglycerides Method.
Some of these methods like the direct method use chemicals like methylene chloride to remove the caffeine. Some methods like the Swiss water process don't use chemicals. One interesting fact about the Swiss water process is that though this method was invented in Swiss the only plant using it is located in Canada. When talking about organic decaf coffee beans, of course only methods without chemicals can be used.

Organic Decaf Coffee Beans: The Swiss Water Process.

In this method the organic green coffee beans are soaked in hot water. Caffeine is water-soluble therefore the hot water extracts the caffeine out of the organic coffee beans.
Than the water which contains coffee solids and the caffeine passes through a carbon filter which prevent the pass of the caffeine. Now this is the tricky part. The carbon filter lets the water with the solids go through the filter, but the caffeine doesn't. So now we have water with coffee solids, but without caffeine. We will take these water and a new bunch of organic green coffee beans (green means unroasted) and we will soak the new beans in these water. Because the water are already filed with coffee solids and they are without caffeine which was filtered, only the caffeine goes out of the coffee beans and the solids remain in the beans as opposed to the first time. This way we get organic decaf coffee beans. Actually we get organic green decaf coffee beans because they are not roasted.
