Our range of ORGANIC coffee

Often synonymous with quality or marketing effect for big brands in order to sell more or with bigger margins, what is really hidden behind an organic coffee?

What is organic coffee?

A so-called organic coffee is a coffee free of chemicals. From the ground to the cup, organic coffee must not come into contact with non-organic coffees and must not receive any non-organic treatment.
Therefore, all the actors in the coffee processing chain must pay great attention to the coffee so that it can be certified organic. From the producer, to the roaster, to the trader, everyone has an important role so that a coffee can be certified organic.

The criteria:

For the trader

Store only next to other organic products. Do not store next to bags of coffee or other non-certified organic products.

For the producer

The land for planting coffee trees must be untreated for at least 5 years. In addition, the use of chemical treatment is prohibited. This therefore requires producers to use natural composts which results in a culture that respects the fauna and flora. Fewer coffee trees are planted by leaving dense vegetation nearby in order to promote biodiversity and limit possible diseases, parasites, and obtain thermal regulation.
Harvesting and post-harvest treatment must then be carried out using exclusively natural means.

For the roaster

Same principle when it comes to storage, cannot be stored next to non-organic coffee. All utensils and tools that have been in contact with non-organic coffee must not be used for processing or bagging organic coffee without first cleaning them.

Certification

If all these criteria are met, then the roaster can apply to the certification bodies to be able to affix the organic coffee label to its package.
