• 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?
• Decaf Mexico Kulaktik (Water Process)
  Using high-pressured water is the only natural way to remove caffeine from green, i.e., unroasted, coffee beans - a process that makes sense for certified organic coffees. We are pleased to now offer a water-processed decaf version of our popular Mexico Kulaktik - Organic/Fair Trade from the municipality of Tenejapa in the southern state of Chiapas.
• Sumatra Mandheling Takengon
  Our Sumatra Mandheling exhibits all of the complex, earthy flavors and smooth, full body that you expect from Sumatran coffee in a way that is elegant and drinkable, not wild and challenging. This coffee is grown in the Takengon region in the northern part of Sumatra known as Simalungun at elevations between 1200 and 1465 meters above sea level (4400 ft).
• 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!
• 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.
• 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.
• Dark Sumatra Gayoland
  We've roasted the Sumatra Gayoland - Organic/Fair Trade darker to give some complexity to the coffee's earthy flavor and full body. It's produced by the Gayo Organic Coffee Farmers Association, a Fair Trade Certified cooperative from the northern tip of the Indonesian island of Sumatra. Certified organic by the Dutch agency SKAL.
• Black and Tan
  The black and tan has been a long time bar favorite consisting of a darker beer poured over a lighter brighter one creating a delicate balance of flavors. Our version embodies the same spirit combining rich, full-bodied dark roasted coffee with a sweet, clean, light-roast in a blend that looks almost as good as it tastes - and you don't need a funny bent spoon to enjoy it!
• 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.
• 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!
