It would be cool if someone genetically engineered decaf coffee beans. In theory you just disable one gene, no?

- PaulKeeble 6y agoThere is such a variant and numerous attempts are under way to breed such a plant. There are many hundreds of natural coffee plant variants and some do produce almost no caffeine but also do not produce good fruit. So far there hasn't been much success on combining the properties, there is a commercial bean out of africa naturally low in caffeine but its not great or very available. I think it will happen at some point.
