CoffeeGeek - Coffee: General Discussion, Freshness of Green Beans (#)
„ I've heard that you're supposed to use decaf within 3 months of it being decaffeinated, but I didn't think it would make such a huge difference. Another thing I've noticed is that JJ Bean selects only Grade 1 beans and on the website of the roaster I have previously used it says "Premium" beans. Grade 1 = Specialty, Grade 2 = Premium. So it's probably both the grade and the green bean freshness that effects the taste, right?“

„Why yes, as a matter of fact, you do. When you pull out your supply of green decaf beans the physical differences between regular and decaffeinated beans is striking. Compared to the unprocessed beans, which are plump and green, the decaf appear stunted: and shriveled, with a brownish tint, almost as if they were already roasted. What path have these beans traveled to lose that component called caffeine, and take on this striking difference?“

„ Even among those specialty coffee drinkers who drank only decaf, concerns about quality were foremost when selecting a decaffeinated coffee. Another assumption often made about the decaf sector is that demand is stagnant. Again, while this assumption may have been true in past years, the Swiss Water Usage and Attitude Study indicated that a third of the specialty coffee drinkers surveyed were drinking more decaf than they were a year ago.“

BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | GM decaf coffee plant created
„Japanese scientists have used genetic modification technology to create a decaffeinated coffee plant - the first time it has been done, according to expert observers. Writing in the British journal Nature, the researchers say their GM plants contain roughly a third of the caffeine content of natural varieties. But it may be many years before engineered coffee beans are being used widely to make refreshing drinks in the world's cafes.“

Drinking Decaffeinated Coffees
„Stop by your favorite roaster and ask to taste their decaf coffees. Usually they are quite willing to share their knowledge. If you are in the bay area, call either of the following numbers to find the Peet's or Starbucks nearest you.“
