3. Natural decaffination is a selling point

so if it is, chances are they would mention it.

If they don't say so in the advertising, then it's more than likely the regular acetone decaff process.

OTOH, you could just ask a barista the next time.

edit: I'm looking for a place to get decaf sumatra. That's my fave.

4. I was at one of their suppliers in Costa Rica last week

and they send the coffee to Germany for some process to extract the caffeine. The tour guide mentioned that it was a more expensive and healthier process than what most people use.
I don't drink coffee and have no idea what the different methods are so take it for what it cost you.
