Why Organic?

Unlike your average coffee bean, which is one of the most heavily pesticide sprayed crops, our beans are grown and processed organically without the use of any chemicals or pesticides.

10 reasons to go organic
  • It's healthy

On average, organic food contains higher levels of Vitamin C and essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium, iron, and chromium, as well as cancer-fighting antioxidants.

  • No nasty additives
Organic food doesn't contain food additives, which can cause health problems.

  • Avoids pesticides
Over 400 chemical pesticides are routinely used in conventional farming, and residues are often present in non-organic food.

  • No GM
Genetically modified (GM) crops and ingredients are not allowed under organic standards.

  • No reliance on drugs
There is growing concern about the high use of antibiotics on farm animals and the possible effects on human health.

  • No hidden costs
Compare this with the $20m that tax-payers fork out to pay for chemicals to be removed from drinking water, mainly as a result of the pesticides used in farming.

  • High standards
Organic food comes from trusted sources. All organic farms and food companies are inspected at least once a year.

  • Care for animals
Animal welfare is taken very seriously under organic standards. The benefits of the organic approach are acknowledged by animal welfare organizations such as Compassion in World Farming.

  • Good for wildlife and the environment
It is better for wildlife, causing lower pollution from sprays, producing less carbon dioxide - the main global warming gas - and fewer dangerous wastes.

  • Top for taste
Many people prefer organic food because they say it tastes better. A number of top chefs choose organic.
