How does Decaf coffee work? Like isn’t caffeine naturally in the Coffea plant?
In: Biology
Yes, caffiene is naturally in coffee plants, but, caffiene is also water soluble. This means that for decaf coffee, green coffee beans (before roasting) are soaked in water or steam and the caffiene can be extracted. The green coffee beans are then let to dry out back to thier normal moisture level, and processed into coffee normally.
