Coffee information

When your heart wants another coffee but your body is a little hesitant, we’ve found the perfect compromise: a coffee that keeps all its character, with a little less caffeine. Our half-caf combines regular and decaffeinated coffee for a cup full of sweetness, flavor, and comfort.

For this edition, we blended our classic Joyeux Roger, a Brazilian coffee with generous notes of chocolate and nuts, with our Colombian decaf from Buesaco, in Nariño. Produced with committed partners like Sancoffee in Brazil and Apex Coffee Imports in Colombia, this blend offers the best of both worlds: an indulgent cup with notes of cocoa, a rounded texture, and a soft, sweet finish.

All the pleasure of a good coffee, with just a little less caffeine.
