Good news for decaf drinkers! A new species of coffee plant has been discovered that is naturally decaffeinated. This plant is unique because it is the only decaffeinated species of coffee tree that is a variety of Coffea arabica, the species of coffee that makes up about 75% of coffee traded worldwide. That means this new species could be bred with popular varieties with relative ease. This would create a much better tasting decaffeinated coffee. Most decaf is created by using solvents to extract the caffeine. This can cause the coffee to lose its flavor.
