Is this really decaffeinated without chemicals?

Yes. The beans are decaffeinated with a water process, which uses water rather than chemical solvents to remove caffeine.

How much caffeine is left?

Water-process decaf removes most but not all caffeine. Expect a small residual amount, so it is not caffeine-free.

Yes. It is sold as whole bean, so you need a burr or blade grinder, or ask for it ground at purchase.

What does it taste like?

A medium-full body with roasty, lightly spicy notes and a dark roast character. It is not a bright, fruity light roast.

Where are the beans from?

The blend draws on decaf beans from Colombia and Sumatra, described as sustainably grown heirloom Arabica.

How should I store it?

Keep the bag sealed in a cool, dark place and grind just before brewing for the best flavor.

Our take on the Merchants Water Process Decaf Blend Whole Bean Coffee, 12 oz

Merchants Water Process Decaf Blend is a whole bean decaf coffee from a Madison, Wisconsin roaster. It is a medium-full bodied blend built on Colombian and Sumatran decaf beans, with a roasty, lightly spicy profile and a dark roast component. The beans are heirloom Arabica, decaffeinated without chemicals using a water process and roasted in small batches. It suits decaf drinkers who want a fuller, darker cup rather than a thin one, and it holds up against mainstream supermarket decafs on sourcing and process.
