What is decaf coffee?

Decaf coffee refers to coffee that has undergone a process to remove most of its caffeine content. While it still contains a small amount of caffeine—typically about 2-5% of the original caffeine levels—it is significantly lower than regular coffee. This process allows individuals who are sensitive to caffeine or those who prefer to limit their intake to enjoy the flavor and experience of coffee without the stimulating effects typically associated with caffeine consumption.

The other options do not accurately represent decaf coffee. Coffee with high caffeine content is, quite obviously, regular coffee and does not reflect the characteristics of decaf. Coffee made from unroasted beans refers to green coffee beans, which are not brewed coffee. Finally, coffee brewed with cold water describes a brewing method, such as cold brew, and has no correlation to the caffeine levels in the coffee itself.
