I am surprised at myself for not being as upset about this as you are because I am a purist as well, but I think it sounds kind of cool. I never drink decaf myself, however. On a side note, I was under the impression that in most cases, it wasn't the decaffeination process itself that makes the coffee taste like crap (especially with the Swiss water method), it was the fact that the extra cost of removing the caffeine would make it too expensive to the consumer so they use lower quality beans to make up for it.

Heck, I would think you would rejoice over a *good* caffeine free coffee! (You know, since it's not SBD friendly and all that... *giggle*) But if it’s an Arabica plant, that’s what it is … caffeine or not.

Arabica makes the better coffee; these are particular strains of Arabica that don't contain caffeine. But I agree with the sentiment. Call it something else.
