Perfectly Prepared Host 5lb Fresh Ground Variety Pack

Do you love coffee, but cannot handle the acid? Over 30% of the coffee-drinking public experiences upper gastrointestinal distress when drinking coffee. These symptoms can manifest as heartburn, acid reflux, indigestion, sour stomach, and GERD. The assumption has been that Ph level has much to do with these symptoms. This is misleading and in most cases, incorrect.

Alex’s Low-Acid Organic Coffee™ is now available in economy size! These five-pound bags contain more than six and a half times the coffee of our traditional 12oz bags and are perfect for the everyday java drinker—or for those who just like to share their beans.

Our Perfectly Prepared Host 5lb Fresh Ground Variety Pack is the ultimate solution for the frequent entertainer. This bundle will help you be ready to share a cup of coffee with guests, no matter their after-dinner caffeine preference. It includes one 5lb (80oz) fresh ground bag of each of the following:

• Alex's Low-Acid Organic Coffee™ - French Roast Fresh Ground (5 lbs) — Our iconic French Roast Coffee features a special blend of three highly sought-after beans (50% Chiapas, 25% Nicaragua, 25% Honduras). It is mild, delicate, and balanced. It is perfectly roasted to a medium-leaning dark, almost French, Roast. It is dark enough to have a full body and chocolatey personality, but it lacks any burnt or bitter notes. Instead, the flavors in these beans are still detectable, and that is a great thing!
• Alex's Low-Acid Organic Coffee™ - Decaf Fresh Ground (5lbs)—Our perfect Decaf Coffee contains 100% pure Chiapas coffee beans. Grown in southern Mexico, near the border with Guatemala, Chiapas coffee beans share the same characteristics as Guatemalan beans, which are expected from the volcanic soil and high altitude in which they are grown. They are mild and delicate, with slightly sweet notes of brown sugar and pear. They also have a nutty overtone.

There are dozens of different types of acids in coffee. Many of them are beneficial to flavor and are healthy. However, there is a specific acid in coffee that causes upper GI distress. Chlorogenic Acid, specifically CQA 3,4, and 5, has been definitively correlated with stomach problems. Chlorogenic Acids can occur naturally in coffee. Drum roasting can significantly increase these levels.

Over 98% of coffee roasters in this country roast coffee in a drum roaster. We don't. Instead, we've engineered, designed, and manufactured our coffee roaster that uses patented convection technology to roast coffee. Instead of introducing coffee to a hot drum, we roast our coffee beans in a fluidized bed of hot air. Our coffees never come into contact with hot steel. Our coffees are gently roasted in a stream of very hot air, which results in the complete removal of Chlorogenic Acid. The results are a smooth, flavorful, easy-to-drink coffee that doesn't upset your stomach. Sip your coffee without worrying about heartburn!

Skeptical? Good. You should be. If you're one of the many who experience stomach problems with drinking coffee, you've probably already researched the topic online and found lots of information, much of it contradictory. Our claims are based on the work of Dr. Taka Shibamoto, a Distinguished Professor of Environmental Toxicology at the University of California, Davis, and the director of the UC Davis Coffee Center. Dr. Shibamoto has conducted studies on Chlorogenic Acid in coffees. These studies have determined that elevated levels of Chlorogenic Acid in coffee are major contributors to bitterness in coffee as well as upper GI distress.

Organically Certified by Organic Certifiers. Need more proof? Order a bag of Alex's Low-Acid Organic Coffee™. Try it for yourself. We've been contacted by hundreds of satisfied customers who report experiencing no stomach problems when drinking Alex's Low-Acid Organic Coffee.

We roasted these organic, fair trade beans to perfection using our hot air convection technique. Since these beans were never processed in hot steel drums, they have a lower acid content.

We recommend storing your coffee in an opaque glass, metal, or ceramic container and keeping it in a cool, dark place. Coffee beans can lose moisture in the freezer and pick up flavors from the fridge or freezer.
