No one’s going to say mycotoxins are a good thing, but they’re heavily regulated and, like most things, present just about everywhere.

All of this will cost you a bit more per bag, but that quality and certainty are often well worth the extra dollars.

Lifeboost uses the Swiss Water Method to make the best decaf coffee beans, which maintains the coffee flavor and complexity without the use of chemicals that often leave that chemically taste we all dread. Using both a wet and dry process, this Nicaraguan coffee is washed in pure, spring mountain water and tested frequently for quality, molds, moisture content, consistency, and more- and this is all before we get to the decaffeination process. This trifecta of features creates a great foundation for a wonderful cup of joe. Heading into the mission of making a better cup of coffee for people to enjoy, Lifeboost is made from fairly-traded coffee grown in a nationally protected area at 5700 feet above sea level.
