Does decaf mean zero caffeine?

In: Vitamins and Supplements [Edit categories]

Answer:

No. Although these coffees indicate that they have reduced caffeine levels, they still contain some caffeine. The chemical process thorugh which caffeine is extracted from tea leaves and coffee beans does leave some caffeine within the plant matter, whcih can never be completely removed.
