From the manufacturer
Post Alley Blend
This is a smoky and intense French roast with a wonderfully smooth side. Best enjoyed by pausing for a moment to allow the aromas to stir your senses before taking the first sip.
How we roast
Here’s how we make our uniquely smooth blends: we start with better beans. Our beans are 100% Arabica and sourced exclusively from Latin America. Once we’ve sourced the beans, our master blenders create better blends for an easy, approachable taste. We ensure total consistency by insisting on rigorous quality checks throughout the process. We don’t just taste the stuff once or even twice. We stop and sample the beans at three crucial steps. From there, we use our special roasting expertise to create a surprisingly smooth taste. All that passion and hard work create an exceptionally smooth cup of coffee that’s flavorful and approachable.

Description | This blend of Latin American beans is complex and robust in flavor with a well-rounded finish. A strong, perk-you-up cup of coffee that, ironically, is named after a sleepy cat that used to curl up next to our roaster, soaking up the warmth and aromas. | From the first sip, you know this one is special. A bold and roasty blend of premium beans that brews a perfectly balanced cup of coffee. Made especially for people who appreciate something that’s smooth, strong, and a great start to their day. | This is a smoky and intense French roast with a wonderfully smooth side.

How do I store ground coffee?
An opened bag of coffee is highly perishable, just like fresh produce. Store your ground coffee in an airtight container at room temperature for no longer than a week. The trick is to keep it away from oxygen, light, heat, and moisture as much as possible.
How much ground coffee should I use per cup?
The recipe for great coffee is 1 tbsp (5 g) of ground coffee for every 6 fl. oz. (180 mL) of water.
Does my favorite Seattle's Best Coffee have a new look or name?
Yes, we are updating all of our packaging, so, for a limited time, you may receive either the old or new packaging. Some of our coffees are also changing names, but the taste is still as bold and flavorful as SBC has always been.
Signature Blend #3 is now Portside Blend.
Signature Blend #4 is now 6th Avenue Bistro.
Signature Blend #5 is now Post Alley Blend.
Product Description
Do you enjoy a hearty and well-rounded cup of medium, full-bodied coffee made from a distinctive blend of premium, smooth-roasted beans? A taste that brightens the day and perks up your mood? We thought you might.

It's at Amazon and it's cheaper so win win!
I asked which coffee this was, expecting a description of an expensive varietal she ground herself before sending. In fact, it was this bargain Seattle’s Best Coffee 6th Avenue blend. We became fans, too, and keep a bag around when we don’t have time to grind. Enter Seattle’s Best Portside Blend Decaf which used to be called Signature Blend #3. It’s a lighter roast than 6th Avenue, of course, yet impressively well rounded with no discernable off notes. Since our everyday world is pretty buzzed up naturally, we’ve been going half-caff recently. This two coffees together make for a great 50/50 combo during the growing number of mornings when we don’t quite have time to grind.
I am shopping for a new brand now as I just read "Seattle's Best nonorganic decaffeinated coffees are processed with methylene chloride in a plant in Hamburg, Germany". The company does have an organic decaf that I can't get where I live that is evidently processed using the Swiss Water Process. I assume this must be a more expensive process.
In my reading I have found there are two "natural" processes. Swiss Water that requires a lot of bean rinsing with water and the CO2 process where the beans are immersed in liquid CO2 which draws out the caffeine. The CO2 process ends with the carbon dioxide being released in a gaseous form and some people say it is better because it uses less water and does not remove the flavor solids in the beans. Both methods appeal more to me than a chemical decaffeination process.
I have looked carefully at my coffee bag and nowhere does it advertise either natural process as being the decaffeination method. I think they would promote that if they could. Sorry SB. If you switch to a better decaffeination method I will be back.
