THE PRODUCER

'Middle Ground' is crafted for those who want full flavour with a gentler lift. Designed to sit comfortably between regular and decaf, it delivers balance, sweetness, and body while reducing caffeine content. The blend is carefully developed to remain consistent and adaptable.

THE COFFEE

This blend offers a smooth, rounded profile with milk chocolate richness at its core, lifted by soft berry notes and a hazelnut finish. Medium roasting enhances sweetness and body while preserving clarity, creating a cup that feels complete and satisfying rather than diluted. It is designed to perform equally well black or with milk.

THE REGION

Coffees in this blend are selected for their complementary characteristics. One brings structure, fruit clarity, and brightness, while the other contributes body, sweetness, and chocolate depth. The focus is always on balance and harmony within the cup rather than origin prominence.

THE PROCESS

The blend combines washed and natural coffees, including a component decaffeinated using the Ethyl Acetate method. This approach preserves flavour integrity while reducing caffeine content. Medium roasting unifies the components, developing chocolate sweetness and nutty depth while maintaining gentle fruit character.

IN THE CUP

Expect a balanced and approachable coffee with milk chocolate sweetness, subtle berry brightness, and a smooth hazelnut finish. Full in flavour yet softer in caffeine impact, this 'Half Caff' offers a comfortable, well-rounded cup for any time of day.
