Alterra Shopcast

• Punch in the Face
  This is a knock down, street brawl kind of coffee. Papua New Guinea Kimel Plantation and our very special Espresso Toro come to blows after each gulp for a blend that's nothing less than a punch in the face.
• Espresso Toro
  From selecting the coffees to tailoring the roast, everything about Alterra's Espresso Toro was designed with espresso preparation in mind. We really like thick, lasting, reddish-brown crema; full, caramel-toned, mouth-coating body; soft, berry-sweet acidity; and flavors like chocolate, roasted nuts, spice and flowers. We hope you will too, so go grab your tamper and give it a shot.
• Alterra's Favorite
  How can we have two favorites? Try this certified organic, Fair Trade blend and find out for yourself! The combination of full-bodied and chocolatey coffees creates a brew worthy of carrying the Alterra name.
• 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!
• 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!
• 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.
• Kenya AA
  Every Tuesday during the harvest months, some of the best coffees in the world are sold at auction in Nairobi, Kenya. Each year we sift through dozens and dozens of samples to find the really outstanding coffees to bid on and buy. Our favorites always have lush, wine-like acidity that complements smooth, buttery body for an intense yet balanced cup with plenty of interesting flavors.
• Costa Rica Campeon del Valle
  To create the Alterra-exclusive Campeón del Valle (Champion of the Valley), we dug deep into the Dota Valley in Costa Rica and selected a handful of highest quality lots from the 700+ producer members of Coopedota and blended them together. These coffees exhibit pinpoint acidity, supportive body and a subtle fruitiness that is a result of harvesting very ripe coffee cherries.
• 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.
• Decaf Sumatra
  Decaf lovers will love the full-bodied, low-acid characteristics and strong earthy flavors of this Water Process decaffeinated Sumatra Gayoland - Organic/Fair Trade. Simply knowing that this coffee's caffeine has been washed away with high-pressure water may help you sleep even better at night!
