SMALL BATCH ROASTING
Alpine Air Coffee's approach to small-batch organic coffee roasting stands out for several reasons. Our meticulous process allows for precise control over the roasting profile, resulting in a consistently flavorful and aromatic end product. By roasting in small batches, Alpine Air Coffee can carefully tailor each batch to bring out the unique flavors and characteristics of the beans, ensuring a rich and satisfying coffee experience.
Our commitment to sourcing organic beans from sustainable farms not only promotes environmental responsibility but also guarantees higher quality and freshness in every cup. This dedication to small-batch organic roasting enhances the taste of the coffee and reflects Alpine Air Coffee's commitment of delivering exceptional quality with every sip.

MEET THE OWNER
Hello, I'm Alex Suckling. I moved to the USA from New Zealand in 2010 to chase winter, working in the ski industry after working in the coffee industry through high school and college. I met my wife working in a ski shop together and after 4 years in Colorado we ended up in Northern Utah where she completed her masters degree in wildlife biology. While in Logan, we traveled up to Teton Valley, ID about a dozen times over the 2 years she was working on that and absolutely fell in love with the place. As soon as she wrapped up her degree in 2016, we moved to the Idaho side of the Teton's. I worked for a granola bar company called Kate's Real Food and then a ski manufacturer called Sego Ski's until 2018. It was a pivotal time for me as I'd always wanted to be my own boss and start a company. It felt like a now or never moment and so I started Alpine Air Coffee in the fall of 2018, and opened up the roastery by December 1. I started by selling coffee at farmers markets and have grown it into a self-distributed wholesale operation with a cafe in the front and a drive through at the one traffic light in Victor. We love it here, the skiing is exceptional, adventure happens from the back door, and the community is as good as it gets.

MEET THE OWNERS
We are a family of three living in South Nampa, Idaho. For over 23 years, Alfie Lane has been perfecting the art of smoked salsa, turning fresh ingredients into a flavorful experience that brings people together. After a lot of prep work and hoops to jump through, we officially opened our business in 2022. It has been a roller coaster to say the least.
The idea began with having excess wood soaking in water. He thought of the idea of trying to make smoked salsa. After lots of trial and error he has mastered the smoking technique of our vegetables and opened the minds of people who have never thought this was possible.
Since opening, the experience has been full of highs and lows. We've celebrated exciting milestones, like our first sale and positive customer feedback. We were thrilled to announce that our medium salsa had been awarded first place in an International flavor award competition in 2025 for fresh salsa. We plan to enter more competitions with some of our other levels in the future.
We have called Idaho our home since June 2017, and we absolutely love it here. The state offers a wealth of outdoor activities that we truly enjoy, including fishing in its many rivers and lakes, kayaking through scenic waterways, biking along beautiful trails, hiking in breathtaking landscapes, and relaxing in natural hot springs. Idaho’s natural beauty and endless opportunities for adventure make it the perfect place for our active lifestyle.
