Low Acid Coffee (100% Arabica)

Our low-irritation coffee is made from high-quality 100% Arabica beans sourced from the Medellín region of Colombia. Their irritating properties are removed in a natural process using steam only — at a facility with more than 100 years of experience in this kind of coffee bean treatment.

Why can coffee irritate the digestive system? Because raw coffee naturally contains acids and waxes, which are only partially neutralized during roasting. Only partially, because roasted coffee still contains low-pH oils that, combined with caffeine, may irritate more sensitive digestive systems, especially the mucous membranes of the stomach and intestines.

The beans used for this coffee, while still green, go through a multi-stage high-pressure steam “washing” process, which removes all waxes from the surface of the green beans and largely neutralizes their acidity. Then, during roasting, the acidity is reduced almost to zero. Roasting these beans must be done in a very individual (and repeatable) way that could be described as belonging to the Strong+ category (although that is a major simplification).

That is why you cannot choose the roast level for this coffee, because roasting is part of the entire “technological” process that makes this coffee gentle on the stomach.

If you are one of those people who experience digestive discomfort even after a proverbial small black coffee, or find themselves rushing to the bathroom soon afterwards — give this coffee a try. There is a very good chance it will not cause such problems, as confirmed by hundreds of reviews and satisfied customers.

We roast every order only after it has been placed, so you will receive beans that are freshly roasted. If you use ground coffee, select the grinding option below and we will grind the coffee for you just before shipping.
