About:
Brian founded the Borealis Coffee Company, with a focus on quality and connection. Through thoughtful sourcing and traceability, combined with in-house small-batch roasting, Borealis craft coffee aims to inspire and elevate the coffee drinking experience
Growing up in Anchorage, AK, Brian understands the value of hot coffee to warm the body and perk up the mind during cold, dark winters.
Living in a state that is commonly referred to as the Last Frontier, Alaskans are accustomed to travel. Brian's travels have taken him all over the world including the coffee rich areas of Indonesia, Costa Rica, and Guatemala. Before he even bought his first home roaster he found himself drawn to coffee farms where the product and process are of equal importance.
Whether you find yourself on the set of a film, sitting down with a French Press and the Sunday paper, or just need that cup to get through the morning, Borealis was created to share great coffee with you.
Borealis means from the north in Latin and is an homage to the Brians’s roots.
Quality:
The Borealis team tastes each batch of coffee that is roasted upholding their commitment to quality. Constantly tweaking the roasts because every coffee bean has unique flavors worth highlighting. Taking the time to discover the point in the roast where each bean (or each blend) develops its best attributes and flavor profiles. That means most of the roasts are on the light to medium side highlighting the flavor of the beans versus the flavors of the roast.
