Organic Coffee Bean

Coffee drinkers today want to know that by purchasing an organic coffee bean they are helping to improve working conditions for coffee farmers, protecting the environment, and promoting sustainable practices around the globe.

The certified organic coffee bean must be grown, harvested, and processed without chemical pesticides and fertilizers. Farms that grow certified organic coffees are tested for chemicals by an independent certification agency for three consecutive years. The flavoring used in the organic coffee bean must also be processed with 100% natural flavorings.

Organic food is produced by farmers who emphasize the use of renewable resources and the conservation of soil and water to enhance environmental quality for future generations. Organic meat, poultry, eggs, and dairy products come from animals that are given no antibiotics or growth hormones. Organic food is produced without using most conventional pesticides; fertilizers made with synthetic ingredients or sewage sludge; bioengineering; or ionizing radiation.

By choosing an organic coffee bean, even though it may cost a bit more, it is a simple extension of your personal beliefs that everything we do should help, rather than harm, the world in which we live.

Vanilla flavored organic coffee, for example, is flavored lightly with 100% natural pure vanilla oil. The smooth, even body of the roast delivers full, rich coffee flavor that is just slightly accented with vanilla. As with all organically flavored coffee, a light roasted bean is used to allow the full flavor of the coffee and natural flavorings to harmonize.

 For us, high quality extends beyond the excellence of our roasts. It includes high quality in the growing and methods of farming, and fair and respectful treatment of those who grow our fine coffee. By supporting Fair Trade Certified products provides an additional opportunity for us and our customers to have a meaningful impact on the working and living conditions faced by many who grow, harvest and process coffee throughout the world.

 Each year over 40 million gallons of chemical pesticides, untold millions of gallons of herbicides, and billions of pounds of fungicides are used by the international coffee industry. Do you see how you are saving the earth by supporting organically grown coffees?

 When the organic coffee bean is a product that is higher in quality, delivers better taste, and can be offered at the same price as a high-quality non- organic product, why purchase a non-organic product?
