Colombian light roast that drinks deeper than its roast level suggests. Bright citrus and stonefruit up front, with more body than most light roasts deliver. If you've written off light roast as weak or watery — this one is different. High-altitude clarity without sacrificing substance. Named for Air Force Pararescue — the PJs who go in when everyone else is already out. The last option. The one that shows up anyway. Lifeline is built for the same role: the coffee that works when everything else falls short. Works for drip, pour-over, French press, or cold brew. Also available in 12-count K-cup pods and 5-pound bulk bags. About Lifeline What is Lifeline? Lifeline is a Colombian light roast coffee from Aerial Resupply Coffee, roasted in Charlottesville, Virginia. Named after Air Force Pararescue — the people who show up when everything else has already gone wrong. Bright, flavorful, and built to deliver more than you'd expect from a light roast.

Frequently Asked Questions Does light roast have more caffeine than dark roast? Yes. Lighter roast profiles preserve more caffeine than longer dark roasts. Lifeline hits harder on caffeine than it looks. Is Lifeline a weak coffee? No. Light roast means lighter body and brighter flavor — not less caffeine, not less intensity. Lifeline is built to deliver the flavor profile of a quality Colombian bean without the heaviness of a dark roast. What's the difference between Lifeline and Firewatch? Both are Colombian roasts. Firewatch is a medium roast — smooth, balanced, lower acidity. Lifeline is a light roast — brighter, more citrus-forward, higher acidity. Same origin, different mission profile.
