Natural CO2 Decaffeination:

Decaffeination is the act of removing caffeine from coffee beans leaving the aroma as it is. It is carried out while the beans are still ‘green’, before they are roasted.
Drinking decaffeinated coffee is in theory, a way of enjoying the beverage while eliminating the caffeine and preserving the taste.

Consumer preference for natural, organic, and minimally processed foods is growing dramatically, as we all recognise that a healthy lifestyle includes not only good exercise and nutrition but also the elimination of chemicals and artificial ingredients in our food.
We are using Super Critical Co2 fluid extraction process for decaffeination of coffee.

Benefits of this method:

· Extracts Caffeine effectively. It’s a direct contact method but does not use chemicals. · Doesn't chemically affect proteins or carbohydrates of the coffee beans.
· The byproducts are natural and 100% recyclable.
· 100% organic process.

· Green process.
