Alterra Shopcast

  • Nicaragua Don Zeledon
    To create the Alterra-exclusive Don Zeledon, we tasted and selected the best coffees from award-winning cooperatives in Northern Nicaragua and blended them together to create a sweet, clean coffee with juicy acidity, medium body and resonating finish.
  • Decaf Sumatra (Water Process)
    One of the best-tasting decafs that we offer, the Decaf Sumatra has the same earthiness as our regular Sumatra Gayo Mountain - Organic. The full body, low acidity, and strong flavors make this coffee a real treat for decaf lovers.
  • Papua New Guinea Kimel Plantation
    The majority of quality coffee grown in Papua New Guinea comes from larger estates, such as the Kimel Plantation, located in the famous Highlands region. Full-bodied and well-balanced, this coffee features soft, sweet acidity, subtle herbal notes and a smooth mouthfeel.
  • 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!
  • 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?
  • Sumatra Gayoland
    In the cup, this Sumatra is characterized by its low acidity, medium-to-heavy body, and earthy undertones. It is produced by the GayoOrganic Coffee Farmers Association, a Fair Trade Certified cooperative from the northern tip of the Indonesian island of Sumatra. The cooperative members are small-scale farmers dedicated to growing 100% shade grown coffee that is certified organic by Skal.
  • Campesino Blend
    Around the world, millions of small-scale farmers (campesinos in Spanish) dedicate their lives to growing, harvesting, and processing high-quality coffee. In their honor, we've combined organic, single origin coffees produced by Fair Trade Certified cooperatives for a great-tasting blend. It possesses a rich, chocolatey flavor with a medium-to-full body, low acidity, and a hint of spice.
  • Peacemaker Espresso
    As a straight shot, our Peacemaker Espresso carries notes of cherry, lemon and spicy chocolate to create a bright, full and balanced espresso. Sip it on its own or fire up your steam wands and find out for yourself why we chose the name Peacemaker - this is an espresso that "makes peace" remarkably well with milk!
  • 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!
  • Cafe Voltaire
    According to legend, the French philosopher and author Voltaire drank fifty cups of coffee per day. Had he tasted this satisfying blend of East Indies coffees, he would have needed only twenty. Our Caf&eaute; Voltaire delivers a rich and spicy cup with incredible body, balanced acidity and a sweet, lingering aftertaste.
