NORTH COAST ROASTING COMPANY Half Caff Whole Bean Coffee – 12 oz Medium‑Dark, Low‑Acid Swiss Water Blend

Half Caff by North Coast Roasting Company is a 50/50 blend of regular and decaffeinated medium‑dark roast whole beans, offering a low‑acid, smooth cup with organic certification and Swiss Water decaffeination.

This Half Moon Blend combines equal parts caffeinated and Swiss Water‑processed decaf beans to deliver a balanced coffee that keeps flavor while reducing caffeine. Hand roasted in small batches, these USDA Organic whole beans are crafted for drinkers who want the taste of a full roast with gentler acidity and controlled caffeine. The product comes as a 12‑ounce bag of whole beans labeled USDA Certified Organic and NON‑GMO.

How does Half Caff preserve real coffee flavor with less caffeine?

The blend uses the Swiss Water Process to remove caffeine from the decaf portion without solvents, retaining much of the bean's original taste compounds. By blending decaffeinated and caffeinated beans after roasting, the profile remains balanced and rich.

• Swiss Water Process decaffeination preserves aroma and flavor.
• Medium‑dark roast profile brings caramelized and cocoa notes.
• 50/50 ratio keeps the sensory impact while lowering caffeine.
• Hand roasted in small batches for consistent flavor from bag to bag.

Is this coffee easy on the stomach or low acid?

North Coast formulated the Half Moon Blend to be a lower‑acid option thanks to roast profile and bean selection, which can feel gentler for many drinkers. While individual reactions vary, the combination of medium‑dark roasting and organic bean choices typically produces a smoother, less bright cup.

• Medium‑dark roast reduces sharp acidity common in lighter roasts.
• Selective bean sourcing favors lower‑acid origins.
• Organic farming practices avoid residues that can affect cup clarity.

What makes this an organic and sustainably sourced coffee?

The bag carries USDA Organic and NON‑GMO certifications, meaning the beans come from farms that follow organic standards and avoid synthetic agrochemicals. North Coast also emphasizes sustainable relationships with growers, supporting practices that protect ecosystems and local livelihoods.

• USDA Certified Organic ensures no synthetic pesticides or fertilizers.
• NON‑GMO verified for traceability and ingredient integrity.
• Small‑batch roasting helps reduce waste and ensures quality control.
• Sourcing supports biodiversity and sustainable farm economics.

How should I grind and brew these whole beans for best results?

Because you receive whole beans, grind size and brew method significantly shape the cup. Use a medium grind for automatic drip, a coarser grind for French press, and a finer grind for pour‑over or espresso‑style extractions to highlight the medium‑dark roast character.

• Drip brewer: medium grind, 1:15–1:17 coffee to water ratio.
• French press: coarse grind, steep 4–5 minutes for full body.
• Pour‑over: medium‑fine grind with controlled pour for clarity.
• Store in a cool, dark place and grind just before brewing for freshness.

Who this is for: North Coast Roasting Company's Half Caff is aimed at coffee lovers who want to reduce caffeine without sacrificing roast depth or organic standards. It's a good fit for people seeking a smoother, lower‑acid cup—morning commuters who prefer moderated caffeine, afternoon drinkers avoiding late jitters, and anyone prioritizing organic, solvent‑free decaffeination. If you brew at home and value small‑batch craftsmanship, this 12‑ounce whole‑bean bag gives flexible grind and brew options to match your routine.
