The Decaf Movement

Have you already made the switch to decaf coffee?

Are you considering making the switch to decaf coffee?

Do you, like us, incorporate decaf coffee as well as caffeinated into your day? 

Since beginning our coffee journey we knew that decaf coffee was such an important part of our range. Whether you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or have made the switch due to health benefits, we needed to make sure that we could provide a really great decaf with no compromise on taste. Just because it’s decaf doesn’t mean you have to accept anything less than great tasting coffee!

And ours is just that!

Our ‘Are You Sure it’s Decaf’ blend is mountain water washed, meaning that the water preserves the soluble flavouring of the beans, so we keep the original characteristics of the coffee. We personally don’t believe in the most common method of decaffeination which involves chemical solvents and definitely does affect the taste.

The blend actually got its name from it tasting too much like actual caffeinated coffee! In several queries from Gemma to Laura of whether we had mixed up the caffeinated blends with the decaf blend as it tases too strong, we ended with a firm ‘Yes Gemma, I’m SURE it’s decaf!’ And so its name was born!

Have you heard of some of the benefits of switching up some of your caffeine intake to decaf?

In case you didn’t already know, the main benefits of Decaf are listed below:

• Reduction in sleep disturbance or insomnia
• Can lower the risk of type 2 diabetes
• Reduces overactive bladder symptoms
• Helps to prevent dehydration
• Helps to prevent headaches
• Levels of caffeine could worsen anxiety symptoms

There is also a strong connection between caffeine and menopause symptoms, resulting in many women going through this switching to decaf.

Decaf and Menopause

Caffeine consumption during menopause can exacerbate hot flushes and night sweats due to the constriction or dilation of blood vessels (NHS UK). This, and the benefits described above is why many women are making the switch to decaf.
