Is this really decaf?

Yes. It is a decaffeinated French roast, so you get the dark-roast flavor without the caffeine. Expect a slightly softer body than the regular version.

How does it compare with Equal Exchange's caffeinated French Roast?

Same dark roast profile and chocolate notes, but decaffeination mutes some of the brightness and body. If you want full flavor and can take caffeine, the regular French Roast is the stronger cup.

What brew methods suit it?

It works in drip machines, French press and pour-over. As a dark roast, it also holds up in espresso-style brewing, though it is not sold as an espresso blend.

Is it organic and kosher?

Yes. It is certified organic and kosher, and Equal Exchange sources the beans from small farmer cooperatives.

How should I store the beans?

Keep them in an airtight container away from light and heat, and grind just before brewing. A large bag is best split into smaller containers or frozen for longer storage.
