Alter Egos Series 4: Decaf Coffee

I grabbed a bag on a whim and now it’s a staple on my shelf—the decaf still has that roasty depth, so it doesn’t taste like a compromise. I’m honestly impressed how it holds up even when I let it sit in the mug for a bit.

Bought this as a joke for a coworker who's always complaining about jittery coffee, but honestly the packaging made me laugh out loud. The label's playful take on why we drink things is clever enough that I'd grab it again just for the conversation starter.

The "have to" vs "fun" angle on the label actually made me laugh out loud at my desk, and the coffee itself brews up surprisingly smooth with a nice, deep roast flavor. It's become my little afternoon treat that feels way more like a dessert than a chore.
