I miss Ted, but this is what he sent me when I asked:

"by nature ethiopian coffees are pretty low in Caffiene to begin with, but when they get decafed the swiss water method it leaves in most only about 2% oo what was originally there, so in ethiopian starting with less caff to begin with you get less caff at the end. plus ethgiopian coffee makes great espresso, i use it a lot instead of a blend, because of it;s complexity, i had to sample CBC's decaf's for a friend and i can say that the ethiopianss were amazing and the royal select was good, the peru was...... rhe bali hai blend was great but it would not be a good espresso."
