How is Mom’s Organic Market Decaf Coffee Made?
Mommee Coffee uses the carbon dioxide method of decaffeination on their organic, fair trade certified coffee beans. This technique eliminates harmful levels of Chlorogenic Acid that could otherwise lead to stomach upset, heartburn and GERD symptoms if other decaf methods were used instead. This produces a creamy and delectable cup of coffee from Uganda’s Friends of Mothers Initiative – an inspiring collective of women farmers making waves in the coffee world. Coffee that is low in acidity and super rich is made even richer by being roasted to Full City, just before the second crack begins. Drip machines and single serve reusable cups work best with this whole bean roast for optimal use.
Many consumers who purchase decaf coffee may not realize there are several methods of caffeine extraction from beans. Some companies utilize chemical solvents like methylene chloride and ethyl acetate, both known carcinogenic agents that pose risks during pregnancy and breastfeeding; it’s essential that when searching for safe options you research these processes carefully! Most organic decaf coffee packages will list their extraction method on the packaging; you can always call customer service for more details or ask!
Organic coffee is an ideal option, since its beans were produced without synthetic pesticides. Any chemicals sprayed onto coffee trees absorb into its outer husk and inner fruit before eventually being burned off during roasting. Even with organic options available to us, the American Congress of OBGYNs still recommends that caffeine intake should not exceed two or three cups a day.
