OUR COFFEE
Behind every cup of Alpen Sierra coffee is commitment to ethical sourcing, unmatched quality, and ongoing support of people and planet. From traveling to origin to meet the farmers who grow our beans to roasting at elevation for a sweeter, smoother taste—each of our distinct roasts is a product of our passion for honest living, hard work, everyday adventure, and lasting relationships.
Coffee Roasts Available
No matter what kind of coffee roast you like, it is probable that we have that available for you. A few of the varieties that our customers enjoy purchasing from us include selections from our signature blends such as:
- Big Blue Tahoe
- Big Meadow Blend
- Toad’s Blend
- Emerald Sunshine Blend
Then, we also offer selections that are made specifically for those who love a dark roast coffee. This type of coffee’s flavor is considered stronger than what you might taste in a light roast. Depending on your particular coffee preferences, this type of coffee may make more sense for your palate. It all depends on your specific taste preferences when it comes to the type of coffee you enjoy in the morning.
Certified Organic Coffee
Drinking something natural and organic is a great choice for many. After all, it is so refreshing to know what is going into your body and to have some control over that process. Many people have not taken the time to think about what goes into their coffee and how they might be capable of transforming their life by consuming something organic.
When you purchase one of our certified organic coffee products, you will have a seal that lets you know that what you are drinking is truly organic. We aren’t going to load it up with anything that you don’t need in it, and we are always going to be completely transparent about what goes into your coffee. That will help you make informed choices.
SIGNATURE BLENDS
Personally formulated by our Master Roaster, our signature blends serve up an experience that can’t be replicated. Each offers a distinct blend of different origins and different roasts, brought together to create a smooth-as-ever, adventure-worthy cup of coffee.
Dark Roast
Dark roasted coffees, while very popular, offer less of the coffee origin’s true terroir flavors, but increase in intensity on the palate. The “oily” apearance of the beans results from the carmelization of sugars and starches, which are brought to the bean’s surface through the deep penetration of heat during the roasting process.
full–city roast
Full-City roasts produce the best finish of all roast types in the cup. The true character of each coffee is represented with the added enhancement of richness from the slight carmelization of sugars on the bean’s surface.
medium & light roast
Medium roasted coffees best represent the terroir of each origin, aptly displaying flavor
characteristics from not only the soil and its mineral content, but also reflecting the coffee’s
processing methods, washed, pulp natural (semi-washed or honey), and natural. Light roasted
coffees will offer every single nuance the coffee has to offer, but will also be brighter and lighter in
the cup.
Decaf & half caff
Decaffeinated to 99%, Alpen Sierra sources the same high-quality specialty coffees for your enjoyment. Included are both naturally-processed decafs, which are Swiss- or Mountain Water Processed, of Certified Organic origin, and conventionally produced, chemically decaffeinated coffees, the latter of which offer the fullest flavor of our decaf coffee offerings.
