In 1927, a cab driver near Salem City reported that a large winged animal attacked his vehicle. He described glowing red eyes, leathery wings, and the sound of claws scraping against metal. Investigators found long scratches and torn roof material the next day. Locals warned drivers to avoid the stretch of road after dark for weeks following the report.

🌲 Echoes Beneath the Pines

In the depths of the Pine Barrens, where mist drifts between cedar trunks and the earth smells of resin and rain, this decaf medium-dark roast finds its home. Smooth and full-bodied, it carries notes of dark chocolate, herbal depth, and soft earth. Grown in the Indonesian highlands between 1,200 and 1,600 MASL, its Mandheling beans develop a quiet strength in volcanic soil. The Swiss Water Process removes the caffeine while preserving every ounce of richness — calm energy from a land of eternal green.

🔥 The Hearth in the Shadows

Each cup glows with warmth and calm, like the heart of a winter cabin. Chocolate settles on the tongue, a faint spice follows, and a trace of cedar lingers long after the last sip. It’s a coffee for late hours and quiet rooms — a comfort brewed for reflection, creativity, and peace in the dark. No buzz, no bite, just smooth serenity that honors the night.

❄️ The Legend of the Leeds Child

They say the thirteenth child of Mother Leeds was cursed — born not as a babe, but as a winged creature with hooves and a scream that shattered the trees. The Jersey Devil still wanders the Barrens when the wind turns strange, a symbol of fear and fascination woven into the pines themselves. Some call it a monster. Others, a guardian of the forgotten woods.

🔥 Firelight Between the Trees

When night thickens and branches claw at the moon, locals say you can feel the Devil’s presence — not to harm, but to remind. This roast is that reminder: bold yet calm, born of earth and ember. It honors the wild heart of the Barrens and the quiet courage of those who live beside the unknown. Sip slow beneath the pines, and let the warmth of the cup chase away the chill of superstition — for even in the Devil’s woods, light finds its way home.

💫 Cryptid Spotlight 💫 Jersey Devil

The Pine Barrens keep their own counsel, and so does the Devil said to roam them. Hooves in sand, wings through cedar, and a cry that cuts the night are part of South Jersey’s long memory. Newspapers recorded a winter “flap” of sightings in 1909, yet even without headlines the forest still carries the sense that something watches between the trees.

This is one of the best decaf coffees I’ve had. The chocolate and cedar notes come through clearly, and the body is rich without feeling heavy. It’s smooth, steady, and perfect for late evenings when I want something warm without the caffeine.

I like this decaf because it tastes rich and earthy without feeling heavy. It reminds me of cold nights around a fire.

I grew up hearing Jersey Devil stories, so I had to try this. It ended up being a really solid decaf with a warm, chocolatey taste. It feels like a good evening coffee when I want something relaxing. I will buy it again

This one has a cozy feel to it. The flavor is deep and calming, and it works great with a splash of cream. I drink it after dinner and it feels like the perfect way to end the day.

This is the best decaf I have ever had. Smooth, rich, and honestly tastes like a regular full strength coffee. I drink it at night while I unwind and it never keeps me up. Really happy I found this one.

Great tasting decaf coffee. Hard to find a good coffee that taste like coffee and doesn't get you all wired. Good job.
