 Decaf
Origins
Single-origin coffee comes from one specific growing region. Like fine wine
growing areas around the world, coffees also have preferred growing areas where
environmental conditions are perfect for creating premium coffee.
For instance, Antigua Guatemalan coffee comes entirely from the Antigua region, a premier
coffee-growing area high in the mountains of Guatemala. Kenya Africa coffee is
grown at high altitudes in Kenya’s Kirinyaga Valley.
Even the slightest
difference in growing altitude, climate, harvesting or processing conditions can
account for flavor differences between coffees. For the coffee purist,
single-origins capture the essence of a particular region’s unique
characteristics.
Scientists discover decaf coffee bean
It's the news coffee-loving insomniacs the
world over have been waiting for - scientists have discovered a naturally
caffeine-free coffee plant.
A cup of decaf could soon taste as good as caffeinated thanks to an Ethiopian
variety of Coffee Arabica, which provides high-quality coffee for about 70% of
the world market.
Scientists hope that by crossing the caffeine-free variety with commercial crops
they can make natural brands that could be available in five years.
Decaffeinated coffee is made from normal coffee and accounts for about 10% of
the world market, but it is expensive to manufacture. It tastes different from
normal coffee because solvents used to extract the caffeine also remove some of
the compounds that give coffee its flavor.
The new coffee was identified during a genetic breeding program aimed at
reducing levels of caffeine.
Researchers in Brazil studied 3,000 coffee plants from Ethiopia, and found three
that had almost no caffeine. The plants, labeled AC1, AC2 and AC3, appear to
lack an enzyme needed to make caffeine.
Writing in the journal Nature, the researchers, led by Paulo Mazzafera, from the
University of Campinas, said the quality of the natural decaf had not yet been
tested.
But they added: "Given that C Arabica has a narrow genetic diversity and that
even accessions from Ethiopia and Arabia (now Yemen), as well as old varieties,
all produce high-quality coffee, it is likely that AC plants will produce a good
beverage."
Caffeine-free natural coffees have already been found among wild Madagascan
species which are not sold on the world market. However, they produce inferior
coffee and are difficult to breed from.
Coffee has been linked to risk factors for heart disease, stillbirths,
rheumatoid arthritis and sleeplessness.
But researchers have also claimed that drinking coffee could lower the risk of
Parkinson's disease and help protect against bladder cancer.
