Every year, 10% of global coffee production is decaffeinated through polluting, costly, flavor-destroying and chemical-based industrial processes.

Amatera is creating the first coffee variety that is naturally caffeine-free. No more decaffeination required, saving the financial and environmental cost of the process and leaving coffee’s flavor untouched.

While global coffee demand is expected to triple by 2050, they will leverage on their optimised non-GMO biotech platform, developing new varieties 4X faster than conventional breeding, to create more sustainable and climate resistant coffee to fill the massive demand.
