Alex's Low-Acid Organic Coffee™ - French Roast Whole Bean (12oz)

Do you love coffee but cannot handle the acid? Whether you experience heartburn or want a smooth cup before bed, Alex's Low Acid Organic Coffee can be warming and satisfying without any discomfort. 100% satisfaction guaranteed!!

Over 30 percent of coffee drinkers experience heartburn, reflux, or stomach discomfort after coffee. Many assume acidity or pH is the cause, but that is not the full story. Coffee naturally contains many acids that add to its flavor and aroma, but one compound in particular, Chlorogenic Acid, especially CQA 3, 4, and 5, has been linked to irritation and bitterness. These levels can rise significantly during traditional drum roasting.

Most roasters use drum roasters where beans come into contact with hot metal. We do things differently. Our patented convection roasting system uses a bed of hot air, so the beans never come into contact with steel. This gentle roasting process ensures an even roast and significantly reduces Chlorogenic Acid levels. The result is a smooth, rich, and easy-to-drink coffee that is kind to your stomach.

If you are skeptical, that is fair. There is a lot of conflicting 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 both bitterness and stomach irritation in coffee.

Certified Organic by Organic Certifiers. This special blend of three carefully selected beans is mild, balanced, and full of flavor. It is roasted to a medium leaning dark, just short of a classic French Roast. The flavor is full and chocolatey, with no burnt or bitter notes. Each cup is smooth, aromatic, and complex, with the beans' natural character still shining through.

Alex's Low Acid Organic Whole Bean 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 qualities as Guatemalan coffees. They are mild and delicate with sweet notes of brown sugar and pear and a 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.

Alex's Low Acid Organic Whole Bean French Roast Coffee is everything good coffee should be: rich, balanced, aromatic, and gentle on your stomach. It is also socially and environmentally conscious, supporting responsible farming and fair trade practices.

We recommend storing your coffee in an airtight, opaque container made of glass, metal, or ceramic and keeping it in a cool, dark place. Coffee can lose moisture and absorb flavors if kept in the fridge or freezer.
