Enjoy a Wide Variety of Flavors and Roasts From Green Mountain Decaffeinated K-Cup Pods
The brand offers decaffeinated pods containing light, medium, and dark roast coffee. Light roast coffee has the highest acidity and produces light-bodied brews. Dark roast coffee provide bittersweet flavors developed by a long roasting process while medium roast coffee makes full-body brews that combine bean and roast flavors. Choose very dark varieties like French and Italian roasts if you want to brew espressos or enjoy burnt undertones in your coffee. Green Mountain also makes flavored decafs imbued with secondary flavors like hazelnut and vanilla. The brand offers each flavor of its decaffeinated coffee in boxes containing multiple pods. You can also choose a variety box containing different flavors and ground coffee made from light, medium, and dark roast beans.

Consider Bean Origin and Variety When Comparing Green Mountain Decaffeinated K-Cup Pods
The grounds in Keurig K-Cups come from Arabica and Robusta beans. Some contain only Arabica coffee beans while others have blends made from both types of coffee beans. Arabica is the more premium variety and has strong aromatic flavors. Some prefer Robusta beans for its higher caffeine content and more bitter taste. Blends made with Arabica and Robusta tend to be darker and more intense.

Besides variety, the geographical origins of coffee beans can also influence the aroma, flavor, acidity, and body of brews prepared with decaf K-Cup pods. For example, Central American beans usually come in light and medium roasts while South American varieties are mostly available in dark roasts and intended for espresso brews. African coffees have citrus, floral, chocolate, and other exotic flavors while Asian beans enjoy earthy and smoky aromas. Combining beans from two or more sources creates a richer blend of flavors including subtle undertones that define the taste of each decaf pod.

Are Green Mountain Decaffeinated K-Cup Pods Kosher-Certified?
Yes. These coffee pods carry Orthodox Union Kosher certification. The Orthodox Union is one of the largest kosher coffee certification agencies and regularly inspects food production plants to determine if they conform to Jewish dietary laws. You can see the agency's certification mark on the boxes of Green Mountain decaf pods.

Can You Recycle Green Mountain Decaffeinated K-Cup Pods?
Not all of the brand's decaf K-Cup pods are recyclable. The units with recyclable containers are made of polypropylene plastic. Before recycling these pods, first peel off their lids and empty out the leftover grounds, which you can safely compost. The leftover filters are then recyclable. Check the package labeling to confirm a pod's recycle status.

Do Green Mountain Decaffeinated K-Cup Pods Come in Half Caff Strength?
Yes. The brand makes half caff decaf varieties. These contain half the caffeine found in regular strength coffee pods. A half caff brew offers a mild caffeine boost and you can safely consume it in the middle of the day for a little pick-me-up without the downside of interfering with your nighttime sleep.
