• Traditional Mocha Java
  We've combined coffees from Java, Sumatra and Ethiopia to create our interpretation of one of the oldest known coffee blends, Mocha Java. Full, creamy body and subtle, delicate acidity support dried fruit and cocoa notes in this richly complex, sweet coffee. Tastes great in a press-pot or as an espresso!
• French Roast
  Fans of dark roasts, listen up! Our version of the classic French Roast - Organic/Fair Trade was created just for you. Dark-roasted coffees from Central America and Indonesia come together in this smoky, full-bodied blend, while flavors of dark chocolate and black licorice reward those who want a little roast in their lives!
• Breakfast Blend
  Sometimes we need a little help waking up, and that's where our Breakfast Blend comes in. The combination of light and medium-roasted coffees creates a dynamic cup with the sweet, pronounced acidity to pry open our eyes, and just enough full, smooth body to prop us up. Whether enjoyed with breakfast or while running out the door, you can always count on our Breakfast Blend to start your day off right.
• Mexico Kulaktik
  Representing our longest direct sourcing relationship, Alterra has worked with the Kulaktik cooperative in Chiapas since 1999. Going beyond fair trade, Alterra provides a "give-back" premium per pound sold that helps the farmer-members fund maintenance and improvements, from new coffee plants to cooperative infrastructure. This wonderfully mild coffee exhibits citrus and cocoa flavors, medium body, and is accentuated with delicate acidity.
• Peru Chirinos
  The Chirinos cooperative of Northern Peru, which was founded in 1968 with just 36 farmer-members, has grown to roughly 280 members from several communities in the Cajamarca region. This year, the coffees we selected from Chirinos came from 3 groups in the cooperative - Balcones, La Lima and Cordillera - that are at the highest elevations and produce the highest quality coffees. Harvested from mostly Typica variety trees (with small amounts of Caturra, Pache, Catimor and Bourbon) at elevations upward of 1,600 meters, this certified organic coffee is a delicious example of successful efforts in cooperative farming. This is a layered yet drinkable coffee with delicate floral and berry aromas and sweet, balanced acidity. Enjoy!
• Decaf Colombia El Castillo
  Attention, regular El Castillo fans: Our Decaf Colombia is now Decaf Colombia El Castillo! This is great news because it means that we are able to source even more coffee from the producers in Huila and Cauca with whom we've had long-standing relationships. Enjoy the complexity and balanced acidity of this great decaffeinated coffee well into the evening.
• Decaf Dream Harder
  As fellow sleepers, we recognize coffee can keep a person up at night. Time spent tossing and turning should be time spent dreaming. To this end, we created Dream Harder Decaf. Balanced and sweet, citrusy and spicy, Dream Harder makes it possible to both enjoy coffee and get the most of your restful hours.
• George's Burly Blend
  Attention, fans of strong and dark brews, we now have something special that will challenge your taste buds like no other coffee has. Created by and named after one of our roasters, George's Burly Blend starts with Brazil and uses a secret component to give it an extra punch. With a full body and a rich and complex flavor, this blend is what our own roasters drink on the job. Think you're up to the test?
• Guatemala Pampojila
  Third-generation coffee farmer Oscar Diaz harvests, processes and hand-sorts coffee that's as beautiful as the region from which it comes. His Pampojilá (meaning: "the place where the mist begins") coffee is grown at 5,500 feet above sea level near San Lucas Tolimán, a town in the southeast corner of Lake Atitlán in Guatemala. Layers of sweet, floral acidity complement smooth body and classic chocolate notes in a shining example of Guatemalan coffee.
• Brazil Fazenda Santo Antonio Bourbon Natural
  Rather than spread the picked coffee cherries on patios, Fazenda Santo Antonio allows the 100% bourbon coffee to dry directly on the trees. This method creates a powerful and very distinct aroma and taste that is full-bodied, nutty, and unlike any other coffee.
