Cold brew coffee is commonly known as a higher-caffeine content beverage, which usually contains about 200 milligrams of caffeine per 16 ounces. However, many of today's consumers are hopping on the decaf coffee trend, focusing on health-conscious choices. Many cold brew drinkers and iced coffee drinkers know that finding decaf varieties of these drinks is not always as easy as it sounds, much less in a ready-to-drink, already brewed form.

Offering a bold and smooth experience for people who love coffee but don't always want the caffeine, STōK has launched the first ready-to-drink decaffeinated cold brew. Available now in grocery stores nationwide, cold brew coffee lovers can enjoy cold brew any time of the day, perhaps even as a nightcap or a drink to pair with your midnight snack.
