50/50 Half-Caf Colombia, Sugar Cane Process

For those late days and nights when you need a light pick-me-up, or for those watching their caffeine intake, this Half-Caf blend is sure to become a regular part of your coffee rotation. A post-roast blend of our Sugar Cane Decaf Colombia and Colombia Huila, the latter being a product of our long-term relationship with Paisa Coffee, LLC.

The first “50” of this blend is our decaf Colombia coffee, sourced specially by Swing’s buyer. The decaffeination plant uses a patented method to extract ethanol from sugarcane, which grows abundantly in the area. This method is 100% chemical-free, leaving you with only the coffee’s pure flavor. So often, for those sourcing decaf, the level of quality is an afterthought, if one at all. Decaffeination is expensive, so in most cases, these folks are buying the cheapest coffees available. But we believe decaf drinkers are true purists. Caffeine is not the goal; the coffee’s authentic flavor is. We think it should be the best, so we are intent on finding the best lots we can to have them decaffeinated. Taste the true flavor of coffee with natural decaffeination from Colombian sugarcane.

The other “50” in this blend is a house favorite: our Colombia Huila, produced in the southern Huila department, in the town of Bruselas, Pitalito municipality. Beto Narvaéz is a traditional coffee grower and has been working in the fields since childhood. When he married at 25, he had the opportunity to own his own farm. Today, at 57, he continues his work as a producer alongside his son, who helps him process delicious farm-direct coffee via our partners, Paisa Coffee.
