At Johan & Nyström, we love coffee in all its forms. For us, it's not just a drink – it's a part of our lives. Drinking coffee is a given, but sometimes we want to enjoy it without the energizing effect of caffeine. What exactly is decaffeinated coffee, how does it affect the body, and does it have the same taste and health benefits as regular coffee? Let’s find out here.
Coffee without caffeine? Absolutely!
Our Nap Queen is an incredibly delicious decaf coffee – we dare to say it's probably the best decaf you've ever tasted. Whatever your reason, whether you always or just occasionally want coffee without caffeine, this is your perfect cup. It’s smooth and refined, with delightful flavors of caramel, fresh apple notes, and rich hints of spices.
Cultivation and process
Our decaf coffee is grown by La Serrania, a group of 50 small-scale farmers in the Huila region of southwestern Colombia. There, at high altitudes, the coffee grows slowly, developing its full-bodied and nuanced flavors. Each producer processes their coffee individually before it is collected and decaffeinated – all to preserve its natural aromas and flavors.
Does decaf coffee taste different?
Many believe that decaf coffee has less flavor than regular coffee, but that’s a myth. The quality of decaffeinated coffee beans depends on the raw material and the roasting process, and we ensure that every cup maintains the same high standards as our other coffee varieties.
Are there any downsides?
Some may feel that it doesn’t provide the same uplifting effect as regular coffee – which is the whole point. But if you love the taste of coffee but want to avoid the effect of caffeine, it’s a perfect alternative – especially in the evening or for those sensitive to caffeine.
Health benefits of decaf coffee
Since caffeine can affect sleep quality and stress levels in the body, a decaf option is perfect for those who want to enjoy coffee without it interfering with their rest. If you’re wondering, "how long does caffeine stay in the body?", it takes between 4 and 6 hours for the body to break down half of the caffeine.
