"I love my coffee…Strong"
"Strong coffee" can mean several things…dark color, a robust aroma or a smooth yet full body and flavor.
Dark color
Marrakech- dark coffees sourced from western Morocco roasted to velvety standards that create a complex hearty cup with a spicy aftertaste.
Kenya- A dark roast assuring a sharp acidity, a stoic solid body and smooth winy penetrating flavor. (Characterized: Winey/Bold Body/High Acidity)
Robust aroma
Guatamala- Aromatic and fragrant with a medium body. Offering you a unique smoky flavor is well balanced with the "spicy twist". (Characterized: Winey/Light Body/High Acidity)
Smooth and Full
Sumatra- Expect a low-key acidity and a heavy, almost syrupy, body with a concentrated and complex flavor. (Characterized: Smooth/Heavy Body/Low Acidity)
Panama- Complex flavors, medium – Volcanic soil grown with bold intensity and incredible clarity and brightness. (Characterized: Smooth/Heavy Body/Low Acidity)
"I love my coffee…Mild"

Mexico- Enjoy a medium body, a fine acidity, and a satisfying flavor that is mild and sweet with a wonderful bouquet. (Characterized: Sweet/Light Body/Low Acidity)
Brazil- Experience a low acidic, light bodied brew, with a pleasant aroma and a mild, smooth flavor. (Characterized: Sweet/Light Body/Low Acidity)
"I'd like a coffee light on the stomach (low in acid)"
Panama- Complex flavors, medium – Volcanic soil grown with bold intensity and incredible clarity and brightness, low acid.
India- Malabar (Monsooned)- "Monsooned" beans are exposed to nature's salty ocean elements during the processing stage, producing a most unique flavor and making for a quite distinct coffee. Look for a light body and low acidity with a mellow and soft flavor. (Characterized: Sweet/Light Body/Low Acidity)
Mysoor coffees- This is the location of the gold fields in India. This Rare and Exotic coffee is sweet, spicy, and super rich with a light body and full aroma. In India, this coffee is sometimes mixed with boiled milk, cardamom, and citrus. (Characterized: Sweet/Light Body/Low Acidity)
Custom Low Acidity Blends - If you experience heartburn, upset stomach, or indigestion from regular coffee, consider locating a custom low acidity blend such as the Mind Your Tummy Blend from Gourmet CoffeeXpress.
