Decaffeinated Freeze Dried Coffee

Neutral

Decaffeinated freeze dried coffee is a processed form of coffee that retains most of the original coffee's flavor and aroma. The decaffeination process can vary, but typically involves removing caffeine using water, solvents, or carbon dioxide. While it provides the taste of coffee without caffeine, it lacks the antioxidants found in regular coffee.
