Meet Our Favorites: Half Caff Blend and Colombian
Some coffees find their way into your routine because they fit just right. At Jo Newman's Brew, two customer favorites offer two different ways to make your daily cup feel special: Half Caff Blend, for flavor with less caffeine, and Colombian, a bright, balanced single origin.
Both are medium roasts, both are made for easy home brewing, and both bring something worth looking forward to. Here’s a closer look at what makes each one a keeper.
Half Caff Blend: Flavor That Fits Your Pace

Love the comfort of a good coffee ritual, but want less caffeine in your cup? Half Caff Blend is made for that kind of day. It’s a smooth medium roast blended from regular coffee and water-process decaf, with half the caffeine and all the flavor you want from a satisfying brew.
The taste is smooth and balanced, with the familiar richness of coffee front and center. It’s not about giving up the pleasure of your cup. It’s about having a flavorful option that can suit a slower morning, a second cup, or the part of your day when you’d like to keep the coffee ritual going.
Half Caff Blend is a natural fit if you:
- Enjoy a full-flavored cup but prefer less caffeine.
- Like a medium roast that feels easy to return to every day.
- Want a flexible coffee option for mornings and afternoons alike.
Brew it the way you love it. A French press makes a cozy, full-bodied cup; a drip brewer offers an easy everyday pour; and espresso grind is available if you want to try it in your espresso setup. You can choose from whole bean and several grind options, so it’s simple to make it work with your home routine.
Colombian: A Bright, Balanced Single Origin

For a cup with a little more sparkle, Colombian brings together bright fruit notes and a smooth chocolate finish. This medium-roast single origin features tasting notes of dried orange, berry, and chocolate. The result is lively and balanced: a little citrus lift, a little fruit, and a comforting chocolate note to round things out.
The coffee comes from smallholder farmers in Medellín, Colombia. It’s fully washed and dried in solar dryers, then roasted to bring its bright, balanced character into your cup. If you’re looking for the best single origin coffee for your own everyday brewing, Colombian makes a welcoming place to start: expressive enough to notice, yet easy to enjoy.
Colombian may be your match if you:
- Like a medium roast with fruit and chocolate notes.
- Want to explore a single origin without choosing an especially dark or light roast.
- Enjoy a cup that’s bright and balanced from the first sip to the last.
Try it as a French press or drip coffee and take a moment with the aroma before your first sip. If you drink your coffee with milk, Colombian’s chocolate notes make a lovely starting point; if you take it black, you can enjoy more of its orange and berry brightness. And if you’re curious about how origins compare, the Single Origin Favorites Sample Pack includes Colombian among six coffees to explore.
Two Favorites, Two Different Moods

Think of Half Caff Blend as the easygoing companion for when you want the coffee experience with less caffeine. Colombian is the choice for a brighter, more fruit-forward cup that lets you explore the character of a single origin. Both are medium roasts, but they offer distinct ways to enjoy your daily brew.
You don’t have to pick one forever. Keep Half Caff Blend on hand for a gentler caffeine choice, and reach for Colombian when you’re in the mood for a little citrus, berry, and chocolate. Freshly brewed at home, either one can make an everyday pause feel like a small treat.
That’s part of what we love about premium coffee beans: the right cup isn’t only about roast level. It’s also about finding a flavor and a pace that feel like yours. As artisan coffee roasters, we want choosing your next favorite to feel straightforward and enjoyable, not complicated.
Make Your Next Cup Your Own
A few small choices can help you settle into a new coffee:
- Start with the grind that fits your brewer. Choose coarse for a French press, espresso for an espresso machine, or standard for many drip brewers.
- Brew a cup and taste it before changing anything. See what you notice first: smoothness, brightness, fruit, or chocolate.
- Give it another try. A different brew method or a splash of milk can bring out a new side of the same coffee.
If you’re just getting to know Jo Newman's Brew, our Best Sellers Sample Pack is a friendly way to explore customer favorites. And if you want to compare coffees from different growing regions, the Single Origin Favorites pack makes sampling easy.
