Finding your favorite types of coffee can be hard or impossible if you need decaffeinated coffee. That can be awfully frustrating. Do you really have to compromise just because you don’t want a jolt of caffeine?
The search for decaffeinated coffee can be even harder if you need acid-free coffee. But take heart. You don’t have to give up coffee just because you need it decaffeinated and you’re avoiding high-acid coffee. Alex’s Low-Acid Organic is a brand with reduced acid content that comes in decaffeinated versions.
Why Avoid Caffeine?
Caffeine may have some benefits, like improving focus and waking you up. It even has possible health benefits. But there are some reasons why you may want or need a decaffeinated version of coffee.
- You have acid reflux and caffeine makes it worse.
- You’re allergic to caffeine.
- You like having coffee later in the afternoon or evening, and don’t want it to interfere with your sleep.
- You are very sensitive to the effects of caffeine and have trouble sleeping even if you don’t have that much caffeine or have it early in the morning.
Another possible reason is that you’ve already had enough caffeine for the day. While everyone’s limit is different, the general guideline is to stay under 400 mg of caffeine per day. That’s the amount in about four regular or small cups of coffee. Once you hit that limit, it may be time to switch to decaf.
Reasons for Needing Acid-Free Coffee
Why might you need acid-free coffee? A common reason is if you’re on a low-acid diet. For example, people with acid reflux or frequent heartburn may try to limit their acid intake. Gastrointestinal disorders such as IBD or IBS can also cause you to want to limit acid from foods and beverages.
Another reason is the taste. Acid has a bitter or sour taste. Alex’s Low-Acid Organic Coffee is smoother and less bitter because it has less acid.
Same Great Taste as Regular Coffee
Alex’s Low-Acid Organic Coffee is a blend of coffee beans from three different sources. The growing regions are all famous for their high-quality, delicious coffee beans.
- Chiapas region of Mexico. Alex’s Low-Acid Organic Coffee has 50% of its beans from here.
- Nicaragua. A quarter of the beans in Alex’s Low-Acid Organic Coffee are from here.
- Honduras. The last quarter of the beans in Alex’s Low-Acid Organic Coffee are from here.
Alex’s Low-Acid Organic Coffee is made with the same beans whether you get Regular, Half Caff, or Decaf versions. That means every cup is consistently balanced, smooth, and delicious.
Benefits of Brewing Your Own Coffee
