Alaska Airlines announced it will serve an exclusive Stumptown coffee blend crafted for sipping at altitude on all flights. In addition, the airline will pour Stumptown's Holler Mountain coffee and Hair Bender espresso in its JFK and PDX airport lounges.
The coffee blend crafted for arid conditions at 30,000 feet has dark chocolate and cherry flavors that complement Biscoff cookies onboard flights.Ashley Day is Food & Wine's senior editor of operations.

The Pacific Northwest-based companies came together to develop a coffee designed for fliers’ taste experience at 30,000 feet, testing 200 batches of coffee with 20 variables, from grind size to temperature and pillow pod material. “On a plane, because the environment is quite arid, your sense of smell and taste are diminished,” explains Emily Rosenberg, Stumptown’s director of education and training operations. “We made some adjustments to arrive at the coffee and roast approach that would perform well in those conditions.”The Alaska Airlines x Stumptown blend is crafted to be sweeter with more roast character than Stumptown’s signature blend.
The companies intend the brew to pair perfectly with the Biscoff cookies available on all Alaska Airlines flights, which Rosenberg recommends for dunking. Based in Seattle, Alaska Airlines flies to more than 120 North American destinations. While you can only taste the new blend in the air, the airline will also serve Stumptown’s single-origin Holler Mountain drip coffee in JFK and PDX airport lounges, in addition to Stumptown’s Hair Bender espresso beverages.
This isn’t Alaska Airlines’ first endeavor in the craft beverage world. In 2022, it was the first U.S. commercial airline to deliver a bulk shipment of fresh hops in under 24 hours to America's two noncontiguous states — Hawaii and Alaska — using its cargo service,Likewise, Stumptown is no stranger to travelers. The roaster has coffee shops in Portland’s PDX airport and Ace Hotels in Portland, New York, and Kyoto, Japan.
