FAQ's & Organic Certification

Is our coffee Organic?

All our staple coffees are 100% organically grown, free of synthetic pesticides and herbicides. This includes Signature Gold, Mocha Italiano & Black Gold.

Link here to our Soil Association Organic Certificate.

Please note our Roaster's Reserve/Choice and monthly changing coffees are not organic certified - although likely to be organically grown. 

Frequently Asked Questions:

What strength is the coffee?

We advise Signature Gold to be a strength of 3.5/5. Punchy but not over powering. Mocha Italiano 4/5 great for milk based drinks and Black Gold 3/5 perfect for black coffees and smooth milky coffees.

Are the beans oily? 

No, these beans are not oily, if you have particularly sensitive machine/equipment, these beans should be perfect. 

Where to store the coffee?

We recommend storing the coffee in a cool, dark, dry cupboard, before you open them. Our Airscapes are a great option. Once opened, reseal the bag and they can be safely stored in the packaging, and we recommend to consume them within 4 weeks of opening.

How many coffees do the bags serve?

250g - serves 13-15 coffees. 500g - serves 26-30 coffees. 1kg - serves 55-65 coffees. We recommend one kilo bag to serve 2 coffees a day, to last a month.

What's the best before date?

All our coffees are roasted to order, meaning they couldn't be fresher. We advise a best before date of 6 months from the order date.
