Additional Company Information:
The Scoop in Alaska Master roaster Michael Gesser turned his love of travel, coffee and the outdoors into a unique business venture when he founded the Alaska Coffee Roasting Company in 1994. Having lived in Kenya for nearly ten years and visited every coffee-producing country on the planet, his personal relationships with the coffee producers allow him to have an influential hand in the beans that he sells, from planting coffee trees, to harvesting the beans to preparing the final product. The Beans We specialize in single estate varietal coffee beans, and like fine wine, each batch is tasted and approved before receiving the ACRC seal of approval. Wherever possible, the beans are organic, and in some cases, they are better than that--they grow wild. The beans are always meticulously picked by hand at the peak of ripeness and not a moment before. After being dried and separated from most ofthe chaff (the parchment-like covering of the bean), the beans are shipped to us, still in the green, unroasted state. Roasting After passing the taste test, the beans enter the best roaster available, the air-fluidized bean bed roaster. This special system allows precise control over the temperatures of the air and the beans themselves, creating the ideal environment for encouraging the beans to present their unique characteristics, singular to that estate. The rest of the chaff is removed and, unlike standard roasters, our air-fluidized roaster prevents oils from being released on the bean surface. The oils belong in your cup--they impart the heady aromas and complex taste characteristics of the various coffees. Freezing Directly from the roaster the beans go into the freezer into a state of "suspended animation" where the aldehydes and the oil stay firmly in the beans. Thus, when we ship the beans to you, the flavor is untainted and perfectly preserved until it meets with water.
