Why Choose Half-Caff?
Many people find that a full cup of coffee can be too much. If you're sensitive to caffeine or simply want a gentler lift, our 50/50 blend is made for you.
- Reduce Jitters and Anxiety: Say goodbye to the caffeine jitters and that anxious, over-caffeinated feeling. A lower dose of caffeine provides smooth, balanced energy without the crash.
- The Perfect Afternoon Coffee: Craving a cup after lunch? Half-caff is the perfect pick-me-up that won’t interfere with your sleep later on.
- Cut Back, Not Out: You don't have to give up the coffee ritual you love. Our blend allows you to easily reduce your caffeine consumption by 50% without sacrificing flavor.
- Know Your Caffeine: A typical 8-ounce cup of our Half-Caff contains just 45-55 mg of caffeine, compared to the 95-115 mg found in a standard cup. It's the smart way to moderate your intake.
It's the best of both worlds. Enough caffeine to get you moving, but not so much that it feels like you’ve stuck your finger inside an electrical outlet. It’s like a gentle breeze on a warm day (instead of putting your head out the window on the highway).

How It's Grown (The "Shmorganic" Way)
The beans from the Mexico Unión Ramal Santa Cruz and Cooperativa de Producción Tzeltal‑Tzotzil grow the way nature intended. Picture lush coffee plants lounging beneath native shade trees, sharing the forest floor with birds, bugs, and all of nature's good vibes. We keep the soil feasting on homemade compost and treat water like the precious resource it is.
Our beans are grown on a regenerative family farm using completely sustainable methods—no synthetic pesticides and no GMOs. These techniques, like using homemade compost and rotating crops, naturally restore soil health and promote biodiversity."
And while the farm is certified, our roasting facility isn’t (yet). So we’re not legally allowed to say our coffee is that thing that rhymes with shmorganic.
Fair for Farmers, Better for You
We work directly with our farming partners in Chiapas. This Fair Trade model means no middlemen and no exploitation. Just good people growing great coffee and earning fair wages for their hard work and dedication. Our beans are certified Fair Trade by FLOCERT.
100% Chemical-Free Decaf
The decaffeinated portion of our blend uses the Swiss Water® Process. This innovative method uses only water, temperature, and time to gently remove 99.9% of the caffeine, preserving the coffee's original character. No chemicals, ever.
