What does "half-caff" mean for flavor and caffeine?

"Half-caff" indicates a blend that combines regular and decaffeinated beans to cut the caffeine about in half while preserving aromatic and taste qualities.

• Approximately 50% less caffeine than standard roasted coffee.
• Balanced medium roast retains sweetness and mild acidity.
• Flavor profile emphasizes chocolate, raisin, and nutty finish.
• Made with 100% Arabica beans for consistent quality.
