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.

Description
You should not have to settle for bad coffee, nor should you have to work for it. Alex's Low-Acid Organic Coffee™ Rise & Shine Coffee Steep Bags (Tea Bag Style) are for anyone who wants a real, satisfying cup with less hassle. Keep them at home for fast mornings and easy afternoons, keep a few at the office, and bring them on trips so you always have coffee you actually want to drink. This is a low-acid, balanced roast in a format that makes coffee simple.
This is not instant. This is not a pod. Each coffee steep bag contains 0.46 oz (13g) of Organic Arabica coffee. That means real grounds and a substantial brew. Tear open the foil packet, place the coffee steep bag in your mug, add hot water, steep, dunk, and you are done. No machine required. No measuring. No mess.
Cupping Notes
A blend of Sumatran and Mexican Chiapas Organic Arabica coffees, roasted Italian style to a medium roast with a full body. Caramel sweetness with subtle notes of white pepper and vanilla bean. Smooth and balanced.
Freshness That Stays Fresh
Most mass-produced coffee is packaged to sit around. Ours is packaged to keep it tasting fresh when you open it. We nitrogen flush and seal each individual packet to help protect freshness and preserve aroma and flavor until the moment you tear it open. That is why these work just as well in your kitchen cabinet as they do in a desk drawer, backpack, or carry-on.
Why People Love the Single-Serve Format
- Real coffee, simplified: 13g of Organic Arabica grounds in every steep bag.
- Consistent cup: no weighing, grinding, or cleanup.
- Easy anywhere: a mug and hot water are all you need.
- Individually sealed: the last one is protected the same way as the first one.
A Note from Alex, the Founder
When I started Alex's Low-Acid Organic Coffee, my goal was simple: to create a coffee everyone could enjoy, especially those with sensitivities or issues with acidity. I wanted a coffee that's gentle on the stomach but rich in flavor. Our coffee is certified organic, free from synthetic chemicals, and tested for mold, mycotoxins, and heavy metals.
