Specialty coffee lovers no longer have to compromise when choosing decaf. As the decaf coffee and lower-caffeinated coffee trend continues to rise, decaf shoppers now have a new coffee brand to consider. The latest online coffee brand, Dekáf Coffee Roasters, offers exclusively premium decaffeinated coffee. Each coffee is made in a small batch and is sustainably sourced. Dekáf embraces the philosophy that great coffee should be measured by taste, not caffeine content.

Founded by Khanh Nguyen and Anil Mezini, Dekáf was created to elevate decaf coffee to the same level as any high-end specialty coffee. With four years of research guiding its foundation, Dekáf dedicated the past year and some months to developing and refining its approach. From fine-tuning roasting techniques to perfecting sustainable sourcing, every detail is crafted to prioritize quality at every step. The brand focuses on “ownership of the entire coffee process” from sourcing to roasting, handling all steps in-house for best-in-class quality, freshness, and flavor.

Combining Anil’s two decades of experience in the specialty coffee industry with Khanh’s expertise in branding and design, Dekáf is redefining what decaf coffee can be. The company exclusively sources premium, sustainably decaffeinated coffee beans and roasts them in small batches to order, ensuring peak freshness. Every bag is shipped within 24 hours of roasting, delivering the freshest possible coffee in the world of decaf. Without compromising flavor, each bag is just as good as caffeinated coffee. But is an excellent option for those who wish to avoid the effects of caffeine.

The best beers to pair with your summer yard games
Anderson Valley

When it comes to leisure activities during the summer months, it’s difficult to beat the appeal of a round of yard games. What could be more fun on a hot, sunny day than besting your friends and siblings in an epic backyard brawl? I can’t think of anything.

I’m talking about games like croquet, lawn darts, bocce, ladder ball, cornhole, and more. The only thing that makes the experience better is having a frosty, refreshing beer firmly in one of your hands. But just like how you don’t enjoy every yard game, not just any beer will do.
