As temperatures turn colder, many turn to warm beverages such as coffee and tea for comfort throughout their days. Though we enjoy their flavorful notes, some worry about caffeine’s effects; in particular, its potential side effects such as stomach cramps, anxiety or an afternoon crash. While coffee does contain antioxidants that could benefit health issues like type 2 diabetes and heart disease; therefore, is decaf an option?

As this answer depends on personal taste, research has demonstrated that both regular and decaf coffee have health benefits. According to studies conducted, drinking coffee may reduce Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease and breast cancer risks; similarly decaf can help alleviate acid reflux or jitters associated with caffeine; so, for those looking for an organic beverage option as part of a healthier diet we suggest trying Fidalgo Organic Decaf!

Our natural decaffeination method utilizes the Swiss Water Process, an approach which is completely chemical-free. To do this, beans are soaked for an appropriate length of time in water while caffeine leaches out and is captured by carbon filters; later filtered again to eliminate any remaining caffeine particles or trace chemicals; leaving only 99.9% caffeine behind which is far lower than most other decaf methods.

Contrasting with chemical-based processes, the Natural Water Process provides a more sustainable and eco-friendly method of decaffeination. While this technique may take longer than others, no chemical residues remain behind and more natural flavors emerge as a result – which is especially significant when dealing with decaf products as some chemicals may leave behind subtle undertones of their presence in the finished product.

Due to its eco-friendly and sustainable qualities, the Swiss Water Process is recommended by the Clean Label Project as the preferred method for decaf coffee production. But this isn’t always enough as some retailers still use methylene chloride in their products; so check your favorite decaf brands’ labels carefully for ones certified as organic, shade grown or fair trade to make sure that you get top quality without exposure to methylene chloride.

So is organic decaf better for you?
