Half Caff – Low Acid Mold-Free Medium Roast Coffee, 10oz

Half Caff is for the coffee you don't want to give up. Same clean, low-acid cup — roughly half the caffeine. A 50/50 blend of our full-caffeine specialty Arabica and beans decaffeinated by the Natural EA process, small-batch roasted in California in a mold-free, allergen-free facility.

Why Half Caff

Most people who cut back on coffee don't want to stop drinking it. They want the ritual, the taste, and the morning — with less of what's keeping them up, tightening their chest, or upsetting their stomach.

Decaf asks you to give up the lift entirely. Half Caff doesn't. It's the middle option: enough caffeine to feel like coffee, little enough to have a second cup at 3pm.

What's In It

• 50/50 blend — half full-caffeine specialty Arabica, half Natural EA decaffeinated
• Natural EA process — decaffeination using ethyl acetate derived from sugarcane fermentation, a naturally occurring compound. No harsh solvents.
• Medium roast — balanced, smooth, and not bitter

Why It's Different

• Low acid – a roast profile built for comfort as well as flavor, gentler on sensitive stomachs.
• Mold-free – every batch is inspected by a licensed Q-grader for mold damage and defects.
• SPOKIN-verified allergen-free – the first coffee brand in the USA certified Top 9 allergen-free. Our roastery handles no nuts and follows strict allergen-free protocols.
• Q-grader inspected – specialty-grade Arabica, cupped and scored before it reaches your bag.
• Small-batch roasted – roasted to order in Orange County, never sitting in a warehouse.

Best For

• Anyone cutting back on caffeine without giving up coffee
• Afternoon and evening cups that won't cost you sleep
• Sensitive stomachs, reflux, or anyone told to "cut back on the coffee"
• Pregnancy, medication changes, or any season where less caffeine matters
