Fresh Roasted Coffee Organic Sumatra Half-Caf K-Cup Pods, Medium Roast, 24-Count, USDA Organic & Fair Trade

These are 24 single-serve K-Cup compatible pods that blend equal parts organic Sumatra and organic Swiss‑Water decaf to deliver a bold, low‑caffeine medium roast with earthy chocolate notes.

Fresh Roasted Coffee’s Organic Sumatra Water‑Processed Half‑Caf pods pair a full‑flavored, single‑origin Sumatra Arabica with an equally expressive Swiss‑Water decaffeinated Sumatra. The result is a robust cup that keeps much of the origin’s deep earth and dark chocolate character while cutting the caffeine roughly in half. Every lot is certified organic and Fair Trade, and the sourcing focuses on Aceh’s Bener Meriah region where growers raise Catimor, Ateng, Timtim and Bourbon varietals under shade and organic practices.

What does half‑caf mean for flavor and caffeine?

Half‑caf here means the pods are a 50/50 mix of full‑caffeine Sumatra Arabica and Swiss‑Water decaffeinated Sumatra. The Swiss‑Water method removes caffeine without chemical solvents, preserving the bean’s natural taste and mouthfeel. Expect most of the origin’s heavy earthiness and chocolate to remain, but with noticeably lower stimulant effect.

• Approximately 50% less caffeine than a full‑strength Sumatra pod
• Swiss‑Water decaf preserves flavor by using water‑based extraction
• Rich, low‑acid medium roast profile with earthy and chocolate notes

Which certifications and origin details matter to buyers?

These pods are USDA Organic, Fair Trade, Rainforest Alliance (RFA), and Kosher certified, reflecting environmental and social standards for production and trade. The coffee is single‑origin from Aceh’s Bener Meriah area of Sumatra, giving traceable flavor characteristics tied to local growing conditions and varietals. Certifications mean premiums were paid to support local infrastructure, education and health projects.

• USDA Organic and third‑party auditability
• Fair Trade premiums for community development
• Rainforest Alliance auditing for sustainable farming practices

Are these pods compatible with my brewer and recyclable?

Fresh Roasted Coffee pods are designed for compatibility with most popular single‑serve brewers that accept K‑Cup style pods, including many 2.0 and similar models; check your brewer’s pod guidelines for full compatibility. The cup is made from recyclable #5 plastic where facilities accept it, and the foil lid can be recycled with aluminum products. Coffee grounds and the internal filter are compostable in proper conditions.

• Works with most K‑Cup compatible single‑serve machines (check your model)
• Recyclable plastic cup (#5) and aluminum foil lid—verify local recycling
• Compostable grounds and filter for reduced waste

How is this half‑caf blend roasted and what tasting notes should I expect?

The roast is a medium level that emphasizes body and earthy complexity rather than bright acidity. The wet‑hulled, semi‑washed and sun‑dried processing of the Sumatra beans produces deep, savory flavors—think rich earth, dark chocolate and a lingering, smooth finish. Because both components come from the same region, the decaf complements the full‑strength beans for a unified cup experience.

• Medium roast highlights weight and chocolatey tones
• Wet‑hulled and semi‑washed processing yields savory, full body
• Consistent single‑origin character across caffeinated and decaf halves

Who is this for? This pack is aimed at coffee drinkers who want the bold character of Sumatran Arabica but prefer to cut back on caffeine without losing depth. It’s a good fit for single‑cup routines, offices, and anyone seeking certified organic and Fair Trade beans in a convenient pod format. If you want a full‑bodied, ethically sourced medium roast with reduced caffeine and recyclable packaging, these pods are a practical choice.
