What is The Green Coffee Bean Company?
The Green Coffee Bean Company is an Alaska-owned coffee roaster and café based in Ketchikan. It sells gourmet coffees and teas from around the world, both over the counter at its café and online with shipping to customers' doors. Its coffee lineup includes named blends and single-origin options such as Killer Whale Coffee, Snappy Rockfish, Cape Chacon Coffee, Big Buck, Colombia–Excelso, and Sumatra–Takengon. Tea is offered through an associated label, The Green Tea Leaf Company.
What you can do there
- Visit the Ketchikan café for a cup of coffee and fresh cookies.
- Order coffee or tea online for shipment.
- Buy a $25 gift card, valid for in-store purchases only; arrange it at the café or by email and either pick it up or have it mailed.
- Join the email newsletter for updates.
Who it suits
- Ketchikan locals and visitors who want a physical café stop.
- Anyone outside Alaska who wants roasted coffee shipped to them.
- Shoppers looking for a gift, keeping in mind the gift card works only in the store, not online.
A practical next step
If you are ordering from out of town, decide between a blend and a single origin: blends like Killer Whale or Snappy Rockfish are the low-risk choice for everyday drinking, while Colombia–Excelso and Sumatra–Takengon let you compare regional flavor profiles. If you are local or visiting, the café is the simpler route, and it is also the only place a gift card can be redeemed.
For a broader sense of the Ketchikan coffee scene, Alaska Coffee Roasters covers other Alaska roasters, though availability and shipping vary by company.
Can I order coffee online for shipping outside Ketchikan?
Yes. The site presents itself as a roaster that ships: its “Buy Coffee” section says coffees from around the world are shipped right to your door, and the welcome text says you can “order online and we will ship to you.”
H3 Practical next step Use the online coffee ordering path on The Green Coffee Bean Company and check the shipping options at checkout. If your destination is outside the United States, ask first, because the page only states general shipping rather than naming countries or carriers.
H3 One thing that does not ship the same way The $25 gift card shown on the page is valid for in-store purchases only, not online. If you are buying for someone in Ketchikan, that is useful; if you are shipping coffee to another state or country, choose the coffee itself instead.
H3 How to decide quickly
- If you want roasted beans shipped to a non-Ketchikan address: order through the online coffee shop.
- If you want a gift card for someone who can visit the cafe: the in-store-only card works.
- If you need delivery outside the U.S.: email [email protected] before ordering to confirm they can ship to your address.
What coffee blends are available for purchase?
The site highlights a handful of named blends and single-origin coffees on its home page: Killer Whale Coffee, Snappy Rockfish, Cape Chacon Coffee, Big Buck, Colombia – Excelso, and Sumatra – Takengon. It also describes itself as an Alaska-owned roaster specializing in gourmet coffees and teas, with a cafe in Ketchikan and online shipping.
How to think about the list
- Named house blends: Killer Whale and Snappy Rockfish appear under "Our Most Popular coffee Blends," so they are the clearest starting point if you want the shop's signature style.
- Featured coffees: Cape Chacon and Big Buck are listed as featured, alongside Colombia – Excelso and Sumatra – Takengon, which read as origin-specific coffees rather than blends.
- Beyond coffee: The same company points to a separate tea offering, The Green Tea Leaf Company, for teas from around the world.
Choosing between them
- If you want the roaster's own blend identity, start with the two coffees grouped as popular blends.
- If you prefer a single-origin cup, look at the Colombia and Sumatra entries.
- If you are buying as a gift, the site mentions a $25 gift card valid for in-store purchases only, available by visiting the Ketchikan cafe or emailing [email protected].
For current availability, roast details, or shipping options, the most reliable next step is to check the Buy Coffee section on The Green Coffee Bean Company or contact the shop directly.
How do I buy a gift card for the cafe?
Email [email protected] to arrange a $25 gift card, or visit the cafe in Ketchikan and buy one in person. The card works only for in-store purchases, not online. You can have it mailed to you or pick it up at the cafe.
Next step: In your email, state how many cards you want, whether you want to collect them or have them mailed, and the mailing address if shipping. If it is a gift, ask whether they can include the recipient's name.
Worth knowing: Because the card cannot be used on the website, it suits someone who will actually visit Ketchikan or a local recipient. If your recipient orders coffee online instead, ask about shipping an order or a different arrangement rather than assuming the card will work there.

What teas does The Green Tea Leaf Company offer?
The page does not list specific teas from The Green Tea Leaf Company. It only says the company "provides the finest teas from around the world" and links to a separate "Buy Tea" section, so the actual varieties, origins, and formats aren't described here.
If you want to know what's available, the practical next step is to open the "Buy Tea" link on The Green Coffee Bean Company and browse the tea listings there. For a quick decision guide:
- If you want a specific type (green, black, oolong, herbal), look for a category filter or product names on the tea page.
- If you're buying as a gift, note that the site's gift card is valid for in-store purchases only, not online, so a tea order would need to be placed directly.
- If you're local to Ketchikan, visiting the cafe lets you ask staff about current tea selections, which may differ from what's listed online.
As a general tip, tea retailers often rotate stock by harvest, so the online list can change; checking the tea page directly is more reliable than relying on a summary.
Where is the cafe located and what can I expect when visiting?
The Green Coffee Bean Company's cafe is in Ketchikan, Alaska. The site describes it as a "cozy cafe" where you can grab a cup of your favorite brew; it's also the physical counterpart to an Alaska-owned roasting company that sells gourmet coffees and teas online.
What to expect when visiting
- Fresh coffee, brewed on-site: The cafe is presented as the place to get a cup of the coffee the company roasts, rather than only buying beans to take home.
- Cookies and baked goods: Fresh cookies are highlighted alongside hot coffee, so it works as a quick coffee-and-snack stop rather than a full restaurant.
- A retail angle: You can buy coffee and tea while you're there, and the company also ships orders placed online.
- Gift cards are in-store only: A $25 gift card is valid for in-store purchases and not online; the site says you can arrange one by visiting the cafe, emailing [email protected], or having it mailed or held for pickup.
Practical next step
If you're planning a visit, decide first whether you're going for a drink and a cookie or to stock up on beans and tea. For the latter, check the "Buy Coffee" and "Buy Tea" sections before you go so you know what you want, and treat the gift card as a cafe-only purchase. If you're ordering from outside Ketchikan, the online shop and shipping are the relevant route instead of the cafe.
