- How is this coffee decaffeinated?
- It uses the water process, also called Swiss Water-style decaffeination, which removes caffeine with water rather than chemical solvents. That is the main reason buyers pick it over cheaper decafs.
- Is it whole bean or ground?
- It is whole bean, despite some listings calling it ground. You will need a burr or blade grinder before brewing.
- What roast level is it?
- It is a medium-dark roast. Expect a smooth, low-acid cup with modest body rather than a dark, smoky profile.
- Does it work in a French press?
- Yes. The medium-dark roast holds up in a French press and drip machine. Use a coarse grind for the press and a medium grind for drip.
- Is it certified organic and fair trade?
- Yes. It carries organic, fair-trade and kosher certification, and Equal Exchange is a worker-owned cooperative that buys from small farmer co-ops.
- How does it compare with regular Mind, Body & Soul?
- It is the decaffeinated version of the same blend, so the flavor is close but slightly flatter and lighter in body than the caffeinated bag.
- Where is the Equal Exchange Organic Mind, Body & Soul Decaf Coffee, Whole Bean cheapest?
- At Amazon, for $43.99, as of our latest check.
