FAQ

1. What makes our KonaDecaf coffee special?

At KonaDecaf we use natural carbon dioxide (CO2) to process some of the finest coffee grown in the world.  Carbon dioxide is in the air, the ingredient used in soda and what we exhale.  During the process the carbon dioxide is responsible for removing most of the caffeine from the green unroasted coffee without affecting the natural oils. .You can now enjoy gourmet coffee any time of day or night without the burst of energy.

2. What is KonaDecaf's natural CO2 decaffeination process?

The process known as extraction, takes place under tremendous pressure, heat and time.  While in the chamber the CO2 changes into a gas (supercritical).  Over a 10 hour period the caffeine attaches itself to the CO2 without removing the natural oils.  When cooled the CO2 returns back into a liquid and recycled.  Our natural KonaDecaf CO2 process has proven to maintain the natural oils which is lost or altered by other methods. 

3. Does your coffee really taste the same as "regular" coffee?
