The all new Winter Half Caff is available now! Look for the Snowflake stamp on the label to make sure you have the Winter Half Caff Blend. This is a very special seasonal release of our Half Caff invented by one of our younger KAHA team members! While at home, Sal asks his son what he should brew on any given day, and his son said he should brew a new Half Caff using the Mountain Water Decaf and the Winter Blend Dark Roast!

The result is that we think this Winter Half Caff Blend is better than the original Half Caff Blend! Both Half Caff Blends have a depth and boldness to them while offering half the caffeine, but the Winter Half Caff adds another dimension by bringing a vibrancy to the cup that takes it over the top.

This blend is extra special since Sal came up with the Winter Blend last year by chance at home while testing, so this Winter Half Caff Blend is a total family collaboration between Father and Son! If you've had the original Half Caff Blend you need to try the Winter Half Caff Blend!

Goals:

• Combine a best in class decaf coffee with complimentary components to create the best half caff we've ever tasted
• Create a bold, rich, smooth, half caff that is full flavored and drinks like an outstanding dark roast
• Tastes just as good with Milk, Cream, Almond or Oat Milk, as it does on its own
• Can be brewed across multiple brew methods such as a drip machine, pour over, as well as immersion style brewing such as the French Press and Aeropress

This half caff blend contains:

• 50% Brazil Mountain Water Decaf*
• 16.6% Brazil
• 16.6% Mexico
• 16.6% Columbia

*Mountain Water Process Decaffeinated

Mountain Water Decaffeination Process:

Mountain Water Process coffees are decaffeinated using pure spring water from Pico de Orizaba, the highest mountain in Mexico. The coffee from Columbia - Huila is harvested, milled, dried, and shipped to the DescaMex facility in Mexico for Mountain Water Process Decaffeination.  Each batch of beans is steamed to create a green coffee extract, the extract is then passed through a filter to remove only the caffeine content but retaining the molecules containing the essence and flavor of the beans. The initial batch of green coffee is then removed from the process. A fresh batch of green coffee beans is then inserted into the process and the extract is then re-introduced to the green coffee. In a process of equilibrium, since the extract does not have caffeine, the caffeine from the new batch of green coffee beans is able to be extracted, but since the flavor molecules are saturated in the extract solution, the flavor molecules of the fresh batch of green coffee beans is unable to seep into the extract, therefore the green coffee beans retain their flavor molecules, but lose their caffeine.

This process retains all the flavor and nuance inherent to the green coffee while removing 99% of the naturally occurring caffeine, all without the use of chemical additives or solvents. The resulting decaf coffee is bursting with flavor as compared to other decaffeination processes. For more information on the Mountain Water decaffeination process visit https://en.descamex.com.mx/
