Decaffeinated Instant Coffee
What it is
This is a convenient way to enjoy a hot beverage without the stimulating effects of caffeine. It is made from roasted coffee beans that have undergone a process to remove most of the caffeine. The beans are then ground and freeze-dried into small granules. When hot water is added, these granules dissolve quickly, creating a familiar coffee flavor and aroma. It offers a way to have coffee at any time of day or night.
