Alterra's Favorite - Organic/Fair Trade
We drink a lot of coffee. Some days we drink so much we start seeing things. If you take your coffee as seriously as we do, you have to have a blend that is balanced enough to keep on drinking with impunity. This combination of full-bodied, well-rounded coffees will keep you sipping all day long.

Black and Tan - Organic/Fair Trade
The black and tan has been a long time bar favorite consisting of a darker beer poured over a lighter brighter one creating a delicate balance of flavors. Our version embodies the same spirit combining rich, full-bodied dark roasted coffee with a sweet, clean, light-roast in a blend that looks almost as good as it tastes – and you don't need a funny bent spoon to enjoy it!

Colombia El Castillo
An Alterra-exclusive coffee, El Castillo is created through an intensive search for the best deliveries of the year from hundreds of coffee producers in the departments of Huila and Cauca in southwestern Colombia – a relationship of which we are very proud to be a part. Each lot is screened and cupped at origin as well as at our lab in Milwaukee, and the best lots are selected and blended to create an intense but balanced coffee with pronounced, sweet acidity and full body. This is GREAT Colombian coffee!
