I knew I wanted (needed) things to slow down in my life.

When I thought about how my day went from start to finish, one of the easiest changes to make was to remove caffeine from my daily routine. That way, I could still enjoy that coffee ritual without the ups and downs throughout the day. Without the shakes, jitters, and sweats.

Once I did that, something totally wild happened. I honestly did not think that simply switching to decaf could have any impact on my day, but oh how wrong I was.I weaned myself off caffeine over the course of a few weeks and during that time frame I already saw positive changes. I could keep everything I loved about my morning ritual and didn’t pay for it later.

I felt better throughout the day because my energy wasn’t spiking and I wasn’t experiencing any sort of anxiety. From there, the end of the day was more pleasant. I enjoyed the drive home and went to bed at a decent time - falling asleep faster than I ever had before and sleeping deeply throughout the night.When the realization hit - that the only change I made was switching from regular coffee to decaf had changed my life in this way I knew I had made the right choice.

It wasn’t without snags, though.Because not all decaf is created equally and decaf - at the time - just was not readily available.

Most coffee brands have one MAYBE two decaf options on their websites and none that were interesting or exciting.Not only that, but the more I learned about decaf, the more informed I became about how decaffeination works.

Larger brands and big companies use chemicals to remove the caffeine. This strips the flavor and leaves behind chemicals that you, the drinker, end up holding in your body.

Gross, right?

I dove into natural decaffeination methods and tried so many different brands, beans, and processes until I found one I really liked. I say I ‘really liked’ because I still wanted to LOVE my coffee without the caffeine, but it was turning out to be harder than I expected.

I couldn’t give up though. I learned about the Swiss Water Process of decaffeination and tried a bag of coffee from a local roaster that used this process for their beans.

It was like seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. 

Of a few things, I was sure.

1. Decaf was my new coffee habit.

2. Swiss Water Process was the superior decaffeination process.

3. I needed to find interesting and exciting decaf roasts somewhere.

I knew what I wanted.

I wanted clean, naturally processed decaf coffee and I wanted options. Different roasts, blends, origins, and even flavors! This didn’t exist for me and for others like me and it needed to change.

I created Homebody Coffee Co as the vehicle to share a wealth of options for high quality, naturally processed decaf coffee but also as a reminder of my own core principles in being a homebody.

A reminder to find quiet moments. Rest, relax, slow down. Not only will switching or integrating decaf into your day help make your life better, but so will quiet moments, slow days, and mindful practices. 

About the Swiss Water Process

Swiss Water Process® is the most natural decaffeination process for modern coffee drinkers. Normal decaffeination leans on harsh chemicals to pull out the caffeine and it strips the flavor too. 

With SWP decaf, there are no harsh chemicals, no overly roasted beans, and no lack of flavor.

We process all of our coffee - decaf and half caff - using the SWP to ensure the best, most natural flavor. 

How do we get our decaf to taste so good?

We use the Swiss Water Process®, an organic-certified, chemical-solvent-free method that removes only the caffeine—and none of the flavor.

Swiss Water works in small batches to remove caffeine from unroasted coffee using its patented Green Coffee Extract. Caffeine moves out of the coffee, while leaving all the original compounds within it. All steps are meticulously tested for quality.

It's then sent back to our roastery where we roast it with the same care and attention we do with our caffeinated coffees.
