Alaska coffee is touted as special, uniquely different from what many are used to. Perhaps it's because of the cold, but Alaskans have a special relationship with coffee, which originates far from the frozen north. We are used to seeing Colombian beans celebrated, and roasters in Alaska use them as well as many others.
Well, it's a fact that Alaskans love coffee. One of the unique features of this frontier state are roadside shacks that sell only espresso and ice cream. They are all drive-through, not sit-in, and they really are shacks. Ten by twelve foot buildings with decorations and signage to catch the eye of motorists make a business up here and keep motorists awake and happy on long trips.
In this global economy, there's no reason that entrepreneurs anywhere can't get any supplies they want. The wilderness roasters import beans from many countries and use up to eight or ten different kinds in their blends. This way they get the different flavor, intensity, smoothness, or aroma that they want. They claim that their expertise, skill, and devotion to the art make their products far above the ordinary.
The internet makes marketing specialty products easy. People from places far away from the frozen north can fill a shopping cart with blends of regular, french roast, decaffeinated, and organic coffees to sample or give as gifts. Who could resist a cup of Outhouse Blend?
There is a sense of community in what you'll see concerning Alaskan specialty coffee businesses. Many of these are family firms, while others have a small staff of dedicated partners. Companies work to boost the Alaskan economy with 'buy local' campaigns, help clients open roadside stands by equipping them with supplies and training, or work with community organizations that benefit youth. All of them seem to support small farmers around the world by buying free trade products.
When you need a surprise gift, consider a blend with a name like Deadman's Reach or Bison Blend. Bruin Blend and Wicked Wolf are other kinds that you can get in a sample pack or in larger sizes. The sampler comes in a gift tote that is useful long after the tasting experience is over.
There are intriguing names which evoke the wilderness, and others that speak of the effect some strong brews have on the drinker. Bison Blend, Tundra Mud, and Denali Mountain make you want to explore Alaska, while Fog Raiser and Resurrection Blend lets you know that these brews will bring you back to full awareness. Breakfast Blend may seem tame after the others, but it's recommended for that prized first cup.
Much Alaska coffee comes from family enterprises or small companies dedicated to brewing. The companies you'll see online support the local economy, support free trade farmers in many countries, and protect the planet by buying organically-grown beans. They buy from small country growers in Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Ethiopia, Indonesia, and Guatemala, among others. There are regular, decaffeinated, and espresso blends, as well as some that made their home cafes famous.
