Anybody know how they go about de-caffeinating de-caffeinated tea and coffee?

so basically they soak the green coffee beans in hot decaf coffee but because the coffee is saturated with everything apart from caffein, it only leaches the caffein out of the beans....

the hot coffee is then filtered to remove the dissolved caffein from it and used again to decaf' more beans..
