Why low acid
Smooth by design, measured by a lab
Coffee's acidity comes from many compounds. Chlorogenic acids (CGAs) are among the ones that shape the sharp, bitter edge in a cup, and roasting time and temperature decide how much of them is left.
- 1100% organic Arabica. Arabica beans naturally carry lower CGA levels than Robusta.
- 2Convection roasted. Hot air heats each bean evenly from skin to core.
- 3A slower, lower-temperature finish. It reduces CGAs further without over-darkening the beans.
- 4Independent testing. Third-party labs test for pH, chlorogenic acids, pesticides, mycotoxins and heavy metals.

It offers caramel sweetness with subtle hints of white pepper and vanilla bean, creating a rich, satisfying cup that brightens your morning without bitterness or discomfort.
More than 30 percent of coffee drinkers experience heartburn, acid reflux, or stomach discomfort after drinking coffee. Many assume the problem comes from pH level, but that is not the full story. Coffee naturally contains many acids that add to its flavor and aroma. The real source of upper GI distress is a compound called Chlorogenic Acid, especially CQA 3, 4, and 5. These compounds occur naturally in coffee and can increase significantly during drum roasting.
Most coffee roasters use drum roasters, where beans come into contact with hot metal. We take a better approach. Our patented convection roasting system uses a bed of hot air, so the beans never come into contact with steel. This gentle process ensures an even roast and significantly reduces Chlorogenic Acid levels. The result is a smooth, flavorful, easy-to-drink coffee that is kind to your stomach.
If you are skeptical, that is fair. There is plenty of conflicting information about coffee and acidity. Our process is supported by research from Dr. Taka Shibamoto, Distinguished Professor of Environmental Toxicology and Director of the UC Davis Coffee Center. His studies show that high levels of Chlorogenic Acid contribute to both bitterness and stomach irritation in coffee.
Certified Organic by Organic Certifiers. Experience the smooth, balanced taste that has made Alex’s Low Acid Organic Coffee™ a favorite for those who love coffee but want to feel good after drinking it. Order a bag of Rise and Shine Whole Bean today and start your day the easy way.
