Paste Magazine put Alpine Start head to head against Starbucks Via in a battle of taste and convenience.
Spoiler alert...
"Both cups of coffee are similar in their taste profile, but the newcomer, Alpine Start has a slight edge just by being a bit more interesting. Oh, and truly lazy coffee drinkers take note: Alpine Start works as a cold brew too, so you don’t even have to heat water to get your caffeine. Just stir and drink."

These will be amazing around the fire camping.
This mix tastes great and I feel much better with this combination from Alpine start than other mushroom coffees (that also include coffee). I usually stick to cold brew due to acidity of hot brewed coffee but this mix and the regular instant coffee from alpine start doesn’t upset my stomach they way brewed coffee does. Awesome product at a great price right now!
Saw this when shopping for something else at REI and heard it softly whispering my name, figured if REI was carrying it then it probably didn’t suck. Definitely DOES. NOT. SUCK. Promptly returned after the camping trip to buy the store out. Sorta felt like a jerk not leaving any for anyone else, but, I’m putting that on Alpine Start for making such a good drink. I now have developed a slight addiction to the point that I’m actually drinking them at home, like, in lieu of ACTUAL chai from, say, Starbucks. Slightly worried I’m going to start just snorting lines of the packets, but it hasn’t reached that level of addiction. Yet. But do yourself a favor and grab a box, or 10, for your next trip.
I bought this for my wife since she's always asking for hot cocoa. She loves it so mission accomplished Alpine start.
What a fun product- I add it to my already robust coffee pour and it adds flavor and attributes.
