What makes this decaf blend low acid and stomach-friendly?

The blend uses naturally low-acid coffee origins and a medium-dark roast profile to reduce perceived acidity in the cup. Combined with careful roasting and the water decaffeination process, the result is a gentler brew that many sensitive-drinkers report tolerating better.
