Is the coffee naturally or chemically decaffeinated?
The coffee is chemically decaffeinated, in fact, 99% of the coffee in the US is done this way. Coffee is more expensive if it is done naturally. Our roaster has tested the coffee and found no traceable chemicals present in a brewed sample. Our roaster is one of the top five biggest roasters in the US. So they have the ability to do these kinds of testing and provide a good sense of comfort to their customers.
Is the coffee a "Fair Trade" coffee?
Our roaster, along with several other big companies, like Green Mountain, use to be involved with "Fair Trade Certification," but became disenchanted with the actual flow of money to the farmers and what the artificial pricing was doing to the "free market." As such, many of the big roasters helped create Coffee Kids. It was a more effective way to truly help third-world countries and more importantly the local villages and people.
