How Safe is Your Coffee?

Over the past several years, coffee prices on the market have dropped to an all-time low, which may seem like it would be a good thing. One of the main reasons for this is that Vietnam has become a large coffee producing country, but they are producing lower quality Robusta beans as opposed to premium Arabica beans.

This is lowering the quality of coffee worldwide, and there is also the issue of purity in your cup of Joe. A few years ago, the International Coffee Organization raised standards in coffee exporting companies for less waste and debris to be in the coffee beans. As it turns out, the FDA allows up to 30% excess debris, including moldy coffee beans, gravel, or twigs, within one pure cup of Joe!

As unappetizing as that may be, that is the reality of the situation, so we encourage you to purchase Organic and Fair Trade coffee to have a higher standard in your Java.
