Lifeboost’s Single-Origin Light Roast features shade-grown Arabica beans from high-altitude Nicaraguan farms, hand-picked, sun-dried, and slow-roasted to preserve nuanced flavor. While brighter than darker roasts, it’s still considerably lower in acidity than typical light roasts thanks to Lifeboost’s high-elevation sourcing and meticulous processing.

USDA-certified organic, non-GMO, and Fair Trade. Hand-washed in spring water and third-party tested for mycotoxins, heavy metals, pesticides, and over 400 other contaminants. Shade-grown above 5,700 feet — the slow cherry maturation at altitude develops sweetness and clean acidity that lowland light roasts simply can’t replicate.

Expect a bright, mellow cup with tasting notes of milk chocolate, caramel, vanilla, and light nuttiness, balanced by a silky smooth texture. It’s delicate yet satisfying — perfect brewed via pour-over or French press where its subtle flavors shine brightest.

Despite being a light roast, this coffee retains Lifeboost’s low-acid promise, often registering a pH between 5.1 and 5.8 — considerably gentler on the stomach than most light roasts from other brands. An excellent option for those who suffer from acid reflux or heartburn but still want a brighter, more delicate brew.
