Organic coffee beans

What is organic coffee?

Organic coffee beans are grown with respect for nature. They grow without chemical additives, ensuring a pure taste and a sustainable impact. In addition, these beans often carry an organic label, which guarantees that they meet strict environmental requirements. Whether you like a powerful espresso or a mild filter coffee, with organic coffee you will enjoy with a good feeling.

The production process of organic coffee beans

The production process of organic coffee beans is different from normal coffee beans. You can read more about it below.

Organic cultivation without chemicals

Organic coffee beans are grown without harmful chemicals. Instead of artificial fertilisers or pesticides, farmers use natural methods, such as compost and animal manure, to keep the soil fertile. This means you drink coffee that is pure and free of chemical residues. Moreover, this eco-friendly approach creates a healthier environment, both for the farmers and for nature.

Soil health and biodiversity

Healthy soil is the basis of good coffee. Organic coffee cultivation uses techniques such as planting shade trees and ground covers. This prevents erosion and enriches the soil naturally. Moreover, these techniques promote biodiversity by providing a home for birds, insects and other animals. As a result, with every cup of coffee you contribute to nature conservation.

Manual harvest for top quality

Organic coffee beans are usually picked by hand. This means that only the ripe berries are harvested, which contributes to optimal flavour and quality. After harvesting, the beans are carefully processed, often using traditional methods that preserve the beans' unique flavours and aromas. The result is an organic coffee with authentic and refined flavour.

Certification and reliability

When you choose organic coffee beans, you can be sure that you are buying a responsible product. Farmers and producers are strictly monitored by certification bodies, so you can be sure that the coffee meets the highest organic standards. Look out for labels such as EU Organic or USDA Organic, which guarantee a sustainable production process from plantation to your coffee cup.

Our organic and fair-trade coffee beans come from places such as Honduras, Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, Peru, Congo and Italy.

Fairtrade coffee beans

Fairtrade coffee beans are more than just a delicious base for your cup of coffee - they symbolise fair trade and social impact. With fair trade coffee, farmers get a fair price for their beans, regardless of price fluctuations on the world market. This means they have a stable income, which enables them to invest in their families, communities and the future of their plantations.

But it's not just about fair prices. Fairtrade also encourages sustainable farming practices, such as limiting chemical use and protecting the local ecosystem. As a result, coffee beans are not only grown responsibly, but also contribute to the preservation of biodiversity and a healthy environment.

In addition, the fair trade premium supports community projects in coffee-producing regions. Think improved access to education, healthcare or infrastructure. So when you choose fair trade coffee beans, you not only contribute to a fair world, but also to a better future for farmers and their families.

And the taste? Because fair trade gives farmers more resources to tend their crops, this often results in higher quality coffee beans. The rich, authentic taste of Fairtrade coffee can be tasted in every sip. With the recognisable Fairtrade label on the packaging, you can be sure that your choice contributes to a world where everyone is fairly rewarded. A cup of coffee tastes even better when you know it has been produced with care and respect!
