Sometimes you want some caffeine in your coffee but not as much as usual, that’s why we came up with 50/50 Blend. This certified organic blend combines Mocha Java with Decaf Shakeout, providing the perfect balance of flavor and caffeine for many of us.
Mocha Java is synonymous with fruit-forward flavors. We combine a pair of coffees from Ethiopia, a blueberry-like natural processed coffee, and a vibrant, citrus- and floral-toned washed coffee. We then added another natural processed coffee from Rwanda which adds to the 50/50 Blend’s fruity flavor profile. Finally, the blend is completed with a wet-hulled coffee from Sumatra, which creates a complex, softly fruity cup.
When combined with Decaf Shakeout, the flavors of 50/50 Blend sweeten up further, adding notes of chocolate and nuts.
In order to keep Decaf Shakeout fresh and lively through the year, coffees from some of our favorite Latin American origins are selected. The current version of Decaf Shakeout is made entirely from coffee sourced from family-owned farms organized under the Cooperativa de Producción Tzeltal-Tzotzil, a group operating across 26 Indigenous communities in the northern region of Chiapas, Mexico. Producers use their own micro-mills to process harvested cherries, allowing for meticulous care during depulping, fermentation, and drying. The coffee is cultivated on small farms, averaging less than 10 acres in size.

Why We Love This Coffee
The resulting flavor of 50/50 Blend is sweet, balanced, and complex, with hints of berry-like fruit, rounded out with deeper flavors of almond and cacao. A great coffee for people cutting back on caffeine or for those times when you want a delicious coffee with a bit less caffeine.
