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.

  1. 1
    100% organic Arabica. Arabica beans naturally carry lower CGA levels than Robusta.
  2. 2
    Convection roasted. Hot air heats each bean evenly from skin to core.
  3. 3
    A slower, lower-temperature finish. It reduces CGAs further without over-darkening the beans.
  4. 4
    Independent testing. Third-party labs test for pH, chlorogenic acids, pesticides, mycotoxins and heavy metals.

How to brew

Ready for your brewer

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

FAQ

Questions about this coffee

How much coffee is in a 5 lb bag?

A 5 lb bag holds 80 oz of coffee, more than six and a half times a 12 oz bag. It suits households that brew every day, offices and anyone who shares their coffee. It comes in French Roast, Decaf, Rise & Shine and Half Caff, whole bean or fresh ground. Browse the 5 lb bags.

What beans are in Rise & Shine, and how does it taste?

Smooth and balanced, with caramel sweetness and subtle notes of white pepper and vanilla bean. Rise & Shine is a blend of Sumatran and Mexican Chiapas organic Arabica, roasted Italian style to a medium roast with a full body. It is lighter than our French Roast. Shop every format in the Rise & Shine collection.

Is Rise & Shine decaf or lower in caffeine?

No. Rise & Shine is a regular caffeine coffee, like our French Roast. The name is about the morning cup, not the caffeine level. If you want less caffeine, choose our Half Caff, which blends caffeinated and decaf coffee for less caffeine, or our Decaf.

Can I return a 5 lb bag after opening it?

No. Opened 5 lb bags are excluded from returns. Unopened 5 lb bags follow our standard policy: within 30 days of receipt, with a return authorization from customer service before you ship it back. If a bag arrives damaged or incorrect, contact us within 7 days of delivery. New to a roast? Try a 12 oz bag first.

How should I store my coffee to keep it fresh?

Keep it tightly sealed in a cool, dry place, away from heat, sunlight and moisture. Our whole bean and ground coffee is sealed in airtight packaging to protect freshness, and each steep bag comes in its own foil packet, so open them one at a time. After opening, keep the package tightly closed between uses and follow the best-by date.

What makes Alex's coffee low acid?

The beans and the roast. We start with organic Arabica, roast it with hot air convection and hold the final stage longer at a lower temperature. That slower finish reduces chlorogenic acids (CGAs), naturally occurring acids in coffee, without over-darkening the beans. An independent lab then measured pH and CGAs in our four core roasts. See the lab results

How much do I save with Subscribe & Save?

It depends on the product and pack size. A single 12 oz bag on subscription is 10% off its one-time price, and 3- and 6-bag subscriptions save more compared with buying single bags. Steep bag boxes are 20% off, 5 lb bags 15% off and variety packs 20% off their one-time prices. Single steep bags aren't available on subscription. The product page shows the exact price.

Description

If you love coffee but it doesn’t always love you back, Alex’s Low Acid Organic Coffee™ Rise and Shine Fresh Ground lets you enjoy a bright, smooth cup that is gentle on your stomach and full of flavor. Perfect for anyone who wants a lively, easy-to-drink coffee that feels as good as it tastes. Satisfaction guaranteed.

Alex’s Low Acid Rise and Shine is a cheerful blend of Sumatran and Mexican Chiapas coffees, roasted Italian style for a smooth, full bodied flavor. It features caramel sweetness with subtle notes of white pepper and vanilla bean, creating a balanced and satisfying coffee to start your morning right.

More than 30 percent of coffee drinkers experience heartburn, acid reflux, or stomach discomfort after coffee. Many assume the problem comes from pH level, but that is not the full story. Coffee naturally contains many acids that add depth and character. 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 roasters use drum roasters, where beans come into contact with hot metal. We take a better approach. Our patented convection roasting system uses a stream of hot air, so the beans never touch steel. This gentle process ensures an even roast and significantly reduces Chlorogenic Acid levels. The result is a clean, flavorful coffee that is easy to drink and gentle on your stomach.

If you are skeptical, that is fair. There is a lot of confusing information about coffee and acidity. Our approach 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 flavor that has made Alex’s Low Acid Organic Coffee™ a favorite among those who love coffee but want to feel good after drinking it. Order a 5lb bag of Rise and Shine Fresh Ground today and enjoy more of what makes mornings better.
