What flavor profile can I expect from Even Keel Half‑Caff?

• Mid notes: molasses, caramelized sugar
• Body: smooth, medium-bodied texture

How should I grind and brew this whole‑bean half‑caff coffee?

Whole beans let you tailor grind size to your brewing style for better extraction and fresher taste. Choose a coarser grind for French press, medium for drip or pour‑over, and fine for espresso-style extractions, then adjust to preference.

• French press: coarse grind, 4–5 minutes steep
• Pour‑over/drip: medium grind, controlled pour
• Espresso/Moka: fine grind, shorter contact time
• Use freshly ground beans within 2 weeks for best flavor

What sustainable and dietary credentials does this coffee carry?

Counter Culture buys and roasts this blend with long‑term producer relationships and transparency in mind. The coffee is organic and sourced under practices that support traceability, and the company holds B Corp certification for broader sustainability commitments.

• Organic certified beans
• B Corp certified company practices
• Traceable sourcing from trusted partners
• Dietary: kosher, gluten‑free, nut‑free

How long will the 12oz whole‑bean bag stay fresh and how should I store it?

Whole beans retain flavor longer than preground coffee when kept in a cool, dark, airtight container. For optimal taste, store the unopened bag in a cool pantry and transfer opened beans to an opaque, airtight jar away from heat and light.

• Unopened bag: best before printed date for peak freshness
• Opened beans: use within 2–4 weeks for strongest aroma
• Storage: airtight, opaque container at room temperature
• Avoid refrigeration or freezing for daily-use quantities

Who is this for? Even Keel Half‑Caff is ideal for coffee lovers who want to reduce caffeine without sacrificing flavor, home brewers who prefer whole beans to tune grind and extraction, and anyone seeking responsibly sourced, organic coffee with a gentle, sweet profile. It’s a versatile choice for morning cups, afternoon breaks, or anyone looking for an approachable, sustainably minded half‑caff option.
