Resulting varieties could find commercial success as an alternative to current decaf requiring artificial processes

I wonder how (not) far the coffee industry might have gone without caffeine to kick it off in the first place. Ah, the circle of life ~~coffee~ ~ caffeine

    Right now the process of decaffinating beans significantly impacts the flavor. If you could grow a “decaffeinated” bean, in theory it would taste better.

      I was under impression that this is somehow relevant to the classic coffee beverages
      I completely forgot about the whole “decaf” thing, as I drink coffee only because of what caffeine does to me
