Explore Our Selection of Coffee Beans for Sale

Single-Origin Coffees

Single-origin beans are sourced from a specific location, such as a region or a farm. What’s unique about single-origins is that they offer distinct flavors according to their homeland, like their terrain, climate, as well as the culture of the region. If you’re more into sweet and fruity notes, look for beans from Ethiopia or Colombia. If you like earthy and spicy tones, look for Indonesian or Indian coffees.

Signature Coffee Blends

Our signature blends use beans from different regions to give you a balanced, consistent taste. They’re great for those looking for a well-rounded cup, for brewing up a morning drip, a rich espresso, or a comforting milk-based drink.

Seasonal Coffee Offerings

We also offer seasonal coffee offerings to celebrate the natural uniqueness of coffee beans, which, depending on the region, are harvested at differnet times each year. This is why we offer limited-edition, small-batch lots of beans that are at their peak of freshness. 

Coffee Beans Available by the Pound

If you’re looking for a larger batch for your daily home brewing routine, Allegheny Coffee & Tea Exchange has whole beans and ground coffee options by the pound, ready to serve as your steady supply of premium coffee. 

Choosing the Right Coffee Beans for Your Taste

Light, Medium, and Dark Roasts

Roasting determines a bean's acidity and caffeine level. For example, a light roast has the highest caffeine and acidity. A medium roast offers a balanced flavor with moderate acidity. Dark roasts have the lowest caffeine and acidity levels and feature bold, rich flavors. 

Flavor Notes to Look For

Besides the type of roast, coffee has different flavor notes. Generally, there are sweet and fruity notes, bold and nutty, and herbal and spicy tones. As you can see, there are many flavors to suit different palates, so what makes a good coffee for you will depend on your personal flavor preferences. 

Brewing Method Matters

How you brew your beans will also result in different tastes in your cup of coffee. Different brewing methods extract the flavor in different ways, which is why some beans are better for some methods. For example, an espresso works well with dark-roasted beans that have a rich flavor. On the other hand, fruity beans of light and medium roasts are best for a pour-over drip method.
