Simmer Down 50% Decaf is our half caff coffee for coffee drinkers who want the comfort of regular coffee without the full hit. This half caff blend balances caffeinated coffee with decaf coffee in a 50/50 mix, so you get half the caffeine and a smoother ride when your caffeine intake needs a reset.
Expect a medium roast cup with a rounded sweetness - think vanilla fudge, caramelised biscuit, and a gentle milk chocolate finish. It works as a breakfast blend style coffee, and it’s also a smart pick if you deal with caffeine sensitivity or occasional caffeine jitters.
If you want a calmer “caff” experience without going fully decaf, this half caff coffee keeps your routine simple: same rituals, fewer spikes.

More from our friends that supply this coffee:
Back in 1995, the Bayter Family rolled up their sleeves and dove headfirst into the agricultural scene at El Vergel farm. Avocado was their main squeeze, but when avocado prices took a nosedive in 2006, they knew it was time to shake things up. So, they tossed some coffee varieties into the mix – catimore, red, yellow caturra – and boom, a coffee empire was born! Fast forward to 2016, and with a little guidance from coffee guru Miguel Jimenez, they planted speciality coffee varieties, setting the stage for some serious coffee greatness.
Then, in a stroke of genius, they embraced natural coffee processes in 2018, tinkering with fermentation control like mad scientists in a lab. And let's not forget their claim to fame – the Koji fermentation process, a game-changer in the green coffee game! Now, meet the dynamic trio behind the scenes: Martha Montenegro, along with her coffee-savvy partners Elias and Shady. Together, they're not just brewing coffee; they're brewing up a whole community revolution!
Their mission? To blend tech magic with coffee passion and sprinkle a little extra joy into the lives of everyone at El Vergel Estate.

Did you know?
Decaf coffee is still packed with antioxidants, magnesium, potassium, and niacin. Only the caffeine molecule is extracted during the decaffeination process.
How we remove the caffeine from our coffee:
- The green coffee beans are soaked/cleaned in water, as the beans expand the pores open up and the caffeine becomes mobile.
- Pressured Carbon Dioxide is introduced, this combined with the present water creates sparkling water. The CO2 acts like a magnet to the caffeine molecules, extracting it from the beans.
- The water is then drained into an evaporator which precipitates the caffeine rich carbon dioxide out of the water.
- This cycle is repeated until the caffeine level is low enough to be classified as decaf.
- The decaffeinated coffee is then gently dried until it reaches its original moisture content and is then ready for roasting.
