TRUISTA BALANCED AWAKENING ACRYLAMIDE FREE* COFFEE

v1.0

$35.00

Our favorite morning brew for black coffee. Balanced Awakening opens with a soft yet striking lemon citrus profile, layered over a rich, chocolate-toned body. Think of it as the chardonnay of coffees, bright, structured, and effortlessly refined. A sweet, creamy finish rounds out the experience, while subtle brown spice notes emerge minutes after sipping, an elegant echo that lingers. It’s rare to find a coffee with both this level of brightness and fullness of body.

BREW GUIDE

FAVORITE BREWER FOR THIS COFFEE: CHEMEX

AS ESPRESSO: Although not designed for espresso, the body in this blend is weighty enough that it’s worth playing around. For those who enjoy bright, citrus-forward espresso profiles, this could hit the mark. Just be ready for that zing.

AS COLD BREW: Exceptional. This blend is great as a cold brew either black or with cream.

BEYOND THE CUP: Balanced Awakening has a citrus-forward profile and creamy body that make it ideal for coffee ice cubes that chill without diluting. Reduce it into a simple syrup and you’ve got a stunning base for cocktails and desserts that lean into brightness—think lemon tarts, citrus spritzes, or even a twist on an Old Fashioned.

BEAN BASICS FOR BALANCED AWAKENING

Balanced Awakening is crafted with intention.
To enjoy it at its best, keep these tips in mind:

DEGASSING (RELEASE OF CO2): Wait at least 5 days after roast date before brewing. This rest lets CO2 escape, smoothing acidity and deepening body.

STORAGE: Air and light ruin freshness. Use a vacuum-sealed container or tightly roll the bag. Store in a cool, dark place.

REFRIGERATOR: Not Recommended. Beans absorb odors and moisture, dulling flavor.

FREEZER: Works for long-term storage (8+ weeks) if airtight. Balanced Awakening’s soft acidity holds up well.

Very good! I enjoy a warm cup of coffee when winter camping. Now I can stay with my clean eating goals too! Win, win!!

That’s what we like to hear! There’s nothing quite like a steaming cup of joe when you’re out braveing the elements. Mondays with cold-fronts? Terrible. Mondays with cold fronts and some Truista? Perfect. And knowing it won't wreck your clean eating goals makes that first sip taste even better.
Stay warm out there!

Truista Coffee stands out for its commitment to clean sourcing and quality. Knowing it’s tested to be free from mold and harmful chemicals makes it a coffee I feel good about drinking daily. The flavor is robust, exactly how I like it, and it provides focused energy. Best of all, I finally have a coffee brand I can confidently recommend to my patients as a replacement for conventional coffee. -Dr. Tiffany Kristensen

to start, i drink specialty coffee most mornings using a pour over and have been doing so for many years. i was trained by a close friend who has placed multiple times in the top ten at barista cup. i say all that to say maybe i was hoping this would taste more like specialty coffee, so maybe my expectations were off.

using a pour over method, the taste was pretty astringent and harsh when i brewed it. i let it cool down as well but the change in temperature didn’t offer too much depth of flavor. the notes on the bag didn’t really come thru and it just tasted pretty bland. the upside was that it was a clean cup and the mouth feel wasn smooth, but no real essence to it other than bitterness and a flavor reminiscent of diner coffee.

i feel all this might be solved by a lighter roast being introduced to your inventory, but until then, i’m not sureid be buying again, which is a bummer bc i do love the idea of a nontoxic coffee roaster. sadly, for what it is rn, it doesn’t strike my fancy.

Love all the different flavors, but this is one of my favorite. Love the clean fresh taste. Definitely makes my morning or afternoon coffee enjoyable.
