Certified Organic Coffee

“Certified Organic” does not just refer to products that are grown without synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. This distinction means that the production methods of these crops uphold the industry standards and laws that designate them as “Certified Organic.”

However, organic plantations do use fertilizer comprised of mulch from the coffee cherries, compost and residues from other crops (such as banana, sugar cane and cocoa) to produce a nutrient-filled topsoil that contributes to a richer, fuller flavor in the coffee.

Organic farmers also have found excellent alternatives to harmful pesticides. They will make use of traps, attract species (like birds) to feed upon the insects and will even meticulously remove the unwanted pests by hand.

These practices are not only gentle towards our delicate ecosystem, but they also help to create a healthier, better quality end product.
