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.

How to brew
Ready for your brewer
- Measure. Start with 15g, about 2 tablespoons, per 8 fl oz of water.
- Brew. Drip, pour-over or French press. Use water just off the boil, about 195 to 205°F.
- Adjust. More coffee for a bolder cup, less for a lighter one.
- Store well. Reseal the bag and keep it cool and away from light.

Description
Bold flavor. Smooth finish. Gentle on your stomach.
If you love coffee but it does not always love you back, Alex's Low Acid Organic Coffee French Roast lets you enjoy a bold, full-bodied cup that is smooth and satisfying. It is perfect for anyone sensitive to acidity or simply looking for a rich, flavorful coffee that is easy to enjoy. 100% satisfaction guaranteed!!
More than 30 percent of coffee drinkers experience heartburn, reflux, or stomach discomfort. Many assume acidity or pH is the cause, but that is not the whole story. Coffee naturally contains many acids that add to its flavor and aroma. The real irritant is a compound called Chlorogenic Acid, especially CQA 3, 4, and 5. These compounds occur naturally and can increase significantly during traditional drum roasting.
Most coffee roasters use drum roasters, where the 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 method ensures an even roast and significantly reduces Chlorogenic Acid levels. The result is a smooth, flavorful coffee that is kind to your stomach.
If you are skeptical, that is fair. There is plenty of confusing information about coffee and acidity. Our process is supported by the research of 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 bitterness and stomach irritation in coffee.
Certified Organic by Organic Certifiers. This special blend of three carefully selected beans is mild, balanced, and rich. It is roasted to a medium leaning dark, just short of a classic French Roast. The flavor is full and chocolatey without any burnt or bitter taste. Each cup is smooth, aromatic, and complex, with the beans' natural character still shining through.
Alex's Low Acid Organic Fresh Ground French Roast Coffee contains this blend of 100 percent USDA Organic coffee beans:
- 50 percent Chiapas grown in southern Mexico near the Guatemalan border. These beans share the same volcanic soil and high altitude characteristics as Guatemalan coffees. They are mild and delicate with sweet notes of brown sugar and pear and a clean, nutty finish.
- 25 percent Nicaragua balanced and smooth with subtle complexity and flavors of chocolate, nuts, vanilla, and a hint of lemon.
- 25 percent Honduras mild, rounded, and universally appealing with notes of chocolate, vanilla, and hazelnut.
Storage Tips
For best freshness, store in an airtight, opaque container (glass, metal, or ceramic) in a cool, dark place. Avoid the fridge or freezer, which can cause moisture loss and flavor absorption.
