Do you love coffee but cannot handle the acid or caffeine? Whether after a meal, when you have heartburn, or simply in the evening before bed, a cup of Alex's Low Acid Organic Decaf 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 contribute 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 coffee 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 touch steel. This gentle roasting process ensures an even roast and significantly reduces Chlorogenic Acid levels. After roasting, our beans are decaffeinated using the Mountain Water Process, which removes caffeine naturally without harsh acids or chemicals. 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. Alex's Low Acid Organic Whole Bean Decaf Coffee contains 100 percent pure Chiapas coffee beans. Grown in southern Mexico near the border with Guatemala, Chiapas beans share the same prized characteristics as Guatemalan coffees. They are mild and delicate with slightly sweet notes of brown sugar and pear and a smooth, nutty finish. • Low Acid • Medium Dark Roast • Non-GMO • USDA Organic • Kosher • Gluten-Free, Mold-Free, Chemical-Free • Vegan • Stomach-Friendly Certified Organic by Organic Certifiers. Our coffee beans from Chiapas come from an organic cooperative established over 20 years ago by five tribes of indigenous Mayan farmers. In the years since obtaining certification, they have built a hospital, a school, and a modern milling facility to process their coffees. They also founded a women’s center and created a lending institution to support local entrepreneurs. Members of this cooperative now earn up to three times more than conventional coffee farmers while protecting their land and culture. Alex's Low Acid Organic Whole Bean Decaf Coffee is everything good coffee should be, rich, balanced, aromatic, and gentle on your stomach. It is also socially and environmentally conscious, supporting sustainable farming and fair trade practices.
