About this coffee

A 50/50 split of caffeinated and decaf coffee beans


Introducing our very first Half Caf coffee The Contortionist!

Unlike most Half Cafs, ours is a single origin from the Popayán region of Colombia. Meseta de Popayán is perfectly suited to growing speciality coffee. Its prime position in the Andean mountain range provides top-notch climatic consistency, helping coffee cherries thrive.

A 50/50 split of decaf and washed caf, it’s a brew that offers the best of both worlds. Whether you’re looking to enjoy a balanced morning cup, or need an afternoon pick-me-up that won’t keep you up all night, The Contortionist delivers.

 

Half of the beans have undergone the environmentally-friendly Sugarcane E.A. decaffeination process, while the remaining half embarked on a journey through the washing mill.

 

What is half caf coffee? 

If you’re new to half caf, you’re in for a treat. It's a blend of caffeinated and decaffeinated coffee beans, typically roasted with a 50/50 ratio.

Producer

Our import partners, Cofinet, have worked hard to build long term relationships with a group of approximately 65 farmers in the Popayán reserve in the department of Cauca. As a result of these partnerships, producers in the region have been able to come together and improve their coffee production Together, these farmers are growing Colombian single origin coffees that are truly worthy of recognition for their high quality and consistently great taste.

Perfectly Roasted

We practice omni roasting—a philosophy kind of like finding each coffee bean's one true love in roast form! 

This means every bean gets its perfect roasting match to highlight its unique quirks and flavours. Naturally decaffeinated beans, after their caffeine-free makeover, can be a bit sensitive and prone to over-roasting, so we steer clear of going too dark to keep their delightful tastes intact. 

Why Decaf?

Gentler on the stomach, better sleep, suitable for pregnant woman, loaded with anti-oxidants and let's be honest, all the great coffee taste with no caffeine crash.

So Why Craft Decaf?

  • Decaffeinated naturally at source which is more sustainable as less miles are travelled
  • We focus solely on decaf and we won't send a bean we haven't tried - your personal decaf experts
  • Direct farmer relationships ensuring your money ends up with our suppliers and not middle-men

A solid quality coffee

A great tasting coffee which I can drink a bit later in the day or when I've had enough caffeine. I never feel like I'm missing out on good quality coffee when drinking this.

Perfection

Hands down.. best low and no I’ve ever tried. This half caff is our morning favourite, we have it ground for v60 and it’s perfection.

Elevated coffee , less caffeine. Beautiful.

Fantastic tasting coffee. Wanted to reduce caffeine intake but was really scared I’d lose the lovely taste you only get from freshly roasted coffee beans, thought the taste would disappear with the caffeine. Should never have worried!! This is an absolute belter, delicious taste! Now I can enjoy my afternoon coffee without worrying about light or little sleep. Thanks!

Super second daily cup

I love this as my second (third, forth?) coffee of the day (after my wake-up espresso). Works best, for me, as a pour-over. Lots of flavour and very enjoyable.
