Resulting varieties could find commercial success as an alternative to current decaf requiring artificial processes
I wonder how (not) far the coffee industry might have gone without caffeine to kick it off in the first place. Ah, the circle of life ~~coffee~ ~ caffeine
Right now the process of decaffinating beans significantly impacts the flavor. If you could grow a “decaffeinated” bean, in theory it would taste better.
oh wait, excuse my ignorance
I was under impression that this is somehow relevant to the classic coffee beverages
I completely forgot about the whole “decaf” thing, as I drink coffee only because of what caffeine does to me
Wait what?
What would be the point of coffee beans that do not have caffeine in them?
As one example, I enjoy the taste of coffee, but I have to avoid caffeine in general since it gives me bad heartburn. Stupid body.
