Please do not ever stop making Dirty Chai! It is truly a warm, delicious morning cup in a packet. Especially for those of us who are lactose AND oat milk intolerant! I first enjoyed Alpine Start Dirty Chai years ago on a cold damp morning in the backcountry of Yosemite. Ever since, it has become a staple of my mornings on trail and also on days when I am hurrying out the door to my office job. It is a rare product that ACTUALLY DELIVERS what the label claims. Inside one of my Dirty Chai shipments once, there was enclosed a black and white picture of Alpine Start founders Matt and Alex. Their vibe is so happy and positive that my wife and I have kept that picture near our tea station ever since. Please keep it going guys! Dirty Chai is truly a one-of-a-kind product!
We travel all over the world and love to have our morning coffee as we wake up. About 5 years ago we discovered Alpine Start and it’s always in our suitcase—enough for 2 cups each every morning!
The Original Blend is the best instant coffee on the market. Beats the heck out of anything else you can buy. Use for your daily coffee, for traveling (hotel coffee, yuck!), or for an on-the-go boost at work/meetings/etc.
We discovered Alpine Start at REI, while we were camping in Olympic National Park. It was so delicious, we decided to order some for home use!
I started drinking coffee because of their Latte with Benefits, which included mushrooms. I haven’t been able to find that one since my first couple purchases. I do love the plain coffee and coconut creamer when it’s not out of stock (they really need to work on their supply chain), using about 1/5 to 1/4 a packet per cup with 1/2 water half almond or cashew milk, it makes just the sort of coffee ice cream level coffee I like. Delicious.
