Coffee StorySourced from the indigenous Nasa communities of Cauca, this coffee is grown with deep respect for the land and their traditions. Through their cooperative, CENCOIC, smallholder farmers unite to strengthen their bargaining power, ensuring fairer prices and sustainable practices. The decaf component is processed naturally with Ethyl Acetate (EA), a compound derived from fruits and vegetables, leaving behind the flavor while gently reducing caffeine.

Half Caff is a natural-processed Colombian coffee from Cauca, sourced from Nasa communities working through the CENCOIC cooperative. Red Bay Coffee has selected this lot and applied ethyl acetate decaffeination while preserving the fruit-forward character typical of natural processing. The roaster identifies ripe plum, homemade jam, and cola in the cup—a profile suggesting the fermented sweetness and body that natural coffees tend to develop. This makes Half Caff an accessible entry point for those seeking caffeine-reduced options without sacrificing flavor complexity, though the specific sensory attributes will depend on your brewing method and palate.
