Wait what?
What would be the point of coffee beans that do not have caffeine in them?

As one example, I enjoy the taste of coffee, but I have to avoid caffeine in general since it gives me bad heartburn. Stupid body.

The Magical Fruit

The Oromo people would customarily plant a coffee tree on the graves of powerful sorcerers. They believed that the first coffee bush sprang up from the tears that the god of heaven shed over the corpse of a dead sorcerer.
