Vespers Decaf - Dark Roast Decaffeinated Coffee

Mystic Monk uses a natural water decaffeination process akin to the Swiss Water Process — a method of extracting caffeine directly from coffee beans using only clean water.

This method is a healthier alternative for making decaf coffee than other methods that use chemical solvents — such as ethyl acetate and methylene chloride — to decaffeinate coffee beans.

Similar to the Swiss Water process, we soak our highest quality beans in pure water, raising the temperature over time to let the beans expand and eventually releasing the caffeine within them to be extracted.

Our natural water process removes the caffeine while keeping the delicious flavor and aroma you'll enjoy whenever you brew our "Vespers Decaf" bean or ground coffee.

Since our decaffeination process is similar to the Swiss Water Process, it follows that our "Vespers Decaf" would similarly have about 99.9% of its caffeine removed.

On average, this would amount to about 2 mg of caffeine in a standard cup of coffee, which is much lower than our other non-decaf coffees.

The lower caffeine amount lets you enjoy the smooth, bold flavors of our "Vespers Decaf" coffee in a variety of brewing methods that would otherwise make regular coffee highly caffeinated, such as in a French press or a small cup of decaf espresso.

Yes, we have another delicious decaf blend for you to enjoy day or night — Mystic Monk's "Decaf Mexican" Coffee. It is also decaffeinated using our natural water process and includes notes of chocolate sweetness and a rich, nutty flavor.

Our "Decaf Mexican" is a smooth, delicious medium-roast decaf coffee, a perfect choice for coffee enthusiasts who want a more mild flavor, while our "Vespers Decaf" offers a darker, bolder decaf experience.
