• 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.
• Brazil Fazenda São Domingos
  Located near the town of Araponga in the state of Minas Gerais, Fazenda São Domingos and owner Danilo de Castro bring us this wonderful coffee. Home to some of the highest elevation coffee farms in the country, the topography, soil, and climate at São Domingos, combined with fastidious processing, results in this unique, delicious coffee. Low in acidity but intensely flavorful, this coffee show notes of chocolate, roasted nuts, dried cherry and tobacco and boasts dense, satisfying body.
• Sulawesi Toraja
  This Toraja is harvested from Mount Sesean in North-central Sulawesi at elevations ranging from 1,300 to 2,000 meters above sea level. Coffee grown on the mountain's eastern slope is collected in the market town of Minanga, while coffee from the Western slope comes through Sapan. The resulting mélange is something very special; flavors of herbs, clove and banana combine with mild, sweet acidity and lasting, syrupy mouthfeel finishing with a touch of roastiness. An incredible, intriguing example of the range of flavors coffees can have. Enjoy!
• 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!
• 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.
• Half-Caff Mexico Kulaktik (Water Process)
  For the coffee drinker that prefers half the caffeine! We combine our regular-roast Mexico Kulaktik - Organic/Fair Trade with a water-process decaffeinated version of the SAME COFFEE, resulting in a flavorful brew with some (but not all) of its original kick. The water-process decaffeination also preserves the organic integrity of the coffee, which may help you rest even better.
• Blue Heeler
  Named after Mina, our Australian Blue Heeler mascot, this coffee stays true cup after cup. We combine regular and dark-roasted Sumatra Gayoland - Organic Fair Trade to create a blend worthy of Mina's namesake. It features a floral, earthy aroma with a full body and a spicy, smoky flavor.
• 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 Espresso Toro
  Sometimes the bull needs to be tamed, and that's where our Decaf Espresso Toro comes in. This decaffeinated version of our regular signature espresso is delicious on its own or as a base for late-night cappuccinos, lattes or mochas.
• Alterra's Favorite
  We drink a lot of coffee. Some days we drink so much we start seeing things. When you take your coffee as seriously as we do, you have to have a blend that balances well enough to keep on drinking with impunity. Earthy Sumatra and a bright, acidic light roast brew together in a combination we swear by.
