About this coffee:
OK, so you need a quick burst of energy, but your bedtime is in three hours. You, my friend, need a POWER NAP. You already love our floral washed Worka from Ethiopia. Well, we blended it with a natural sugar cane process Colombia creating Power Nap. We created this "half-caf" blend just for you, a pre-roast blend of 50% of our beloved Ethiopia Worka and 50% of our Decaf Colombia Huila. The resulting cup is silky sweet and reminiscent of ripe peach and cocoa, with a sweet finish of brown sugar. It's so tasty; you might just have two cups and stay up past your bedtime...
The Story:
There's a perfect point in a nap where you wake up feeling refreshed and energized. Power naps are short and to the point, hitting the zone where you get the benefits of sleep without the grogginess. This coffee is like a power nap. You get the uplifting benefits of a nap without having to hang a do not disturb sign on your office door. It's a half-caffeinated coffee, a 50/50 blend of our sugar cane-process decaffeinated Colombia Huila, and our washed Ethiopia Worka. We blend this coffee prior to roasting, to achieve a uniform taste profile to make the highest possibility of a true half-caf coffee.
Often a cafe's half-caf coffees are an unwieldy blend of two different coffees, limiting your chances for a pleasant extraction. We roasted Power Nap to be both delicious on filter and espresso, with the best chance of getting a half-caffeine cup of coffee. Gone are the awkward half-caf shots, or limiting your afternoon coffee to a half cup. The only thing that you need to feel awkward about is how sweet and pleasant this coffee tastes.
