Common questions
Is decaf coffee completely caffeine free?
No. Decaffeination removes most but not all caffeine. Each Waka decaf packet contains approximately 4 mg, roughly 4 percent of a standard cup of drip coffee. US regulations require decaffeinated coffee to have at least 97 percent of its caffeine removed.
How much caffeine is in a Waka decaf packet versus a regular packet?
About 4 mg for decaf versus about 60 mg for the caffeinated medium roast packet.
Does the decaf taste different from the regular medium roast?
Both are medium roast Colombian Arabica with the same well-balanced, smooth-bodied profile and citrus notes. The decaf is slightly softer in body.
How do you make iced decaf coffee?
Dissolve the packet in a small amount of hot water first, then top with cold water, milk, or ice. A handheld frother also works for mixing directly into cold liquid.
Pour coffee from packet into a cup. Add 8-10 fl oz of water, stir and enjoy. Adjust the amount of water to make your coffee stronger or weaker based on your preferences. Add milk and sugar to liking. Visit our How to Brew page to learn more.
Store in a cool, dry place.
