Rochester’s New Half Caff Coffee Blend: For when you’re craving a delicious brew, but it’s too late in the day for a fully caffeinated beverage. Or maybe it’s your second or third (or fourth or fifth) cup of the day, and you’re feeling a little jittery. That’s where Rochester’s new half caff coffee blend comes in.
Or maybe you love the ritual of coffee but full-caffeine just doesn’t love you back anymore. We get it, and that’s why our Half Caff Blend is here to save your afternoons, your sleep schedule and your heart rate. It’s the perfect solution when you want a real cup of coffee without launching yourself into orbit.
Half Caff: It’s All About Balance
We’ve artfully blended two exceptional beans to bring you balance in a cup:
- Our decaf Colombia is super chocolatey, decaffeinated with the Sugarcane EA Process, which uses a naturally occurring compound derived from sugarcane molasses. This method, also known as natural decaffeination, extracts caffeine while preserving the coffee’s flavor profile.
- Our sweet, medium-roasted washed Guatemala brings a smooth, nutty body and a touch of brightness, a perfect counterpoint to the Columbia’s natural sweetness.
Taste Notes
Our half caff blend brings aromatic hazelnut up front, milk chocolate in the body and a soft brown sugar finish. It’s versatile enough for any brewing method and holds up in specialty drinks as well. If you want to savor the full flavor experience, try a pour over at home or in shop.
Grab a bag of half caff beans to brew at home or give it a try in the shop when you order any latte or espresso drink ½ caff, including our famously delicious Espresso Martini (perfect for when you need a little boost … but want to fall asleep eventually).
