Why Alaska Coffee Is Special

By Krystal Branch


It's hard to think what Alaska coffee has to make it special. Alaskans might like coffee because it's so cold outside, but why would the rest of the world want it? The far north doesn't have the climate to grow this beverage, obviously, so how can it compete with Colombia and other countries that do grow beans?

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.

With the internet, it's also a global marketplace. For this reason, Alaskan coffees have been attracting notice in the lower 48. Virtual shopping makes it possible to enjoy a cup of Outhouse Blend even in the land of indoor plumbing. Organic products are offered for those who want no chemical residues in their beverages and want to help keep our planet clean.

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.

If you need a truly unusual gift, consider a sample pack of unique blends. Even the non-coffee drinkers will enjoy the colorful logos and names like Deadman's Reach, Wicked Wolf, or Bruin's Blend. You can get a sample collection in a colorful tote that is a gift in itself and will be both fun and useful.

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.

Alaska coffee roasters have embraced free trade markets which support small growers in many countries with impoverished rural populations. Beans are imported from Peru, Mexico, Ethiopia, Colombia, Indonesia, and Guatemala, to name a few. You can get super strong brews like Skookum Blend or decaffeinated varieties. Whether you choose espressos, regular, or French roasts, you'll have new experiences in taste and aroma.
