What's Really in Your Coffee?

Most commercial coffee sits in warehouses for months—sometimes years—before it reaches your cup. During this time, it's exposed to moisture and conditions that allow mold to grow. This mold produces mycotoxins, harmful compounds that can affect your health.

Beyond mycotoxins, commercial coffee often contains pesticide residues, artificial flavors, and preservatives. The result? Coffee that leaves you jittery, anxious, and crashing by noon.

Coffee Done Right

Mycotoxin-Free

We source only from suppliers who test for mycotoxins. Our beans are stored properly and roasted fresh to prevent contamination.

100% Organic

No pesticides, no herbicides, no synthetic fertilizers. Just clean beans grown the way nature intended.

Small Batch Roasted

Every batch is roasted in small quantities to ensure consistency and quality. No mass production here.

Your coffee is roasted when you order, not months before. Peak freshness, every time.

Transparent Sourcing

We know exactly where our beans come from. Single origin, traceable to the farm.

Made with Love

Every bag is packed by hand with care. We're not a corporation—we're coffee lovers like you.

Why Quality Coffee Matters for Your Health

Coffee isn't just delicious—decades of research show that moderate coffee consumption (3-5 cups daily) is associated with remarkable health benefits. But here's the catch: these benefits come from quality coffee, not coffee contaminated with mold, mycotoxins, or pesticide residues.
