Coffee is a world-famous beverage that many people start their day with. It's made from roasted and ground coffee beans. A wide variety of beverages and culinary specialties can be made from it. We offer a variety of aromatic, organic coffees from organic farms.
Arabica or Robusta?
Arabica and Robusta are the most popular coffee varieties. Over 500 different varieties of coffee can be found in the wild. However, these two types are primarily cultivated. The flavor, aroma, and quality of the same variety will depend on the location and processing method. There are also blends of Arabica and Robusta, which balance the flavor and caffeine concentration. They are an interesting alternative to single-origin coffees.
Arabica coffee
Arabica coffee is significantly more popular than Robusta. It is estimated that approximately 70% of coffee sold worldwide is this variety. It has a mild, slightly acidic flavor, devoid of bitterness, and is also characterized by a strong aroma.
It contains about half the caffeine of Robusta, so it won't be very stimulating. Its lower caffeine content also makes it more difficult to grow, as insects are more likely to attack it.
Depending on where it is grown and how it is processed, different varieties of Arabica are produced. This includes the popular mocha coffee, which originates primarily from Ethiopia and has a chocolatey flavor. Organic Arabica coffee is also grown in Tanzania, Peru, Mexico, Guatemala, and Nicaragua.
Robusta coffee
Although less popular, Robusta coffee also has its enthusiasts. Its flavor is more pronounced and strong. It has a slight bitterness, but not acidity. It also contains significantly more caffeine.
Organic Robusta coffee is most commonly grown in Asia and South America. This variety is easier to cultivate and is more resistant to diseases and pests.
Caffeine in organic coffee
The caffeine in coffee stimulates, increases concentration, and provides energy for several hours. Those who avoid caffeine can also enjoy the flavor and aroma of coffee thanks to decaf or grain-based coffees. They taste similar to traditional coffee.
Caffeine also accelerates the metabolism of fatty acids, which is why it's a common ingredient in weight-loss supplements. Organic coffees provide valuable antioxidants that help cleanse the body of toxins and free radicals and reduce the risk of developing many diseases.

It's worth ensuring that your daily coffee is delicious and of high quality. This is precisely what certified organic coffees are made of, as they are free from artificial fertilizers . This cultivation method benefits both consumers and the planet. Coffee production doesn't pollute the environment or damage biodiversity. And we receive a natural, healthy, and delicious product.
Moreover, organic coffee production takes place in unpolluted areas, often high in the mountains. It requires more manual labor, and the yields are not as abundant as those from conventional crops that use chemical pesticides. The result is coffee with a better flavor and aroma, free from contaminants.
Organic coffee beans purchased under fair trade principles are marked with the Fair Trade certificate . This certification ensures that farmers working on their crops receive fair wages, working hours are respected, women and men receive equal pay, and child labor is avoided. Furthermore, coffee producers receive a fair price for their products and strive to shorten the chain of intermediaries.
