decaffeination

Removing the buzz

Decaffeination is the process of removing caffeine from coffee beans, tea leaves, or other substances.

The result is a product that retains most of its original flavor while eliminating or reducing the stimulant effect: The decaffeination process uses water or chemical solvents to extract the caffeine.
