While some of our coffees are grown in a manner consistent with organic requirements, only the coffees labeled as organic are certified by the growing country. Each country has its own standards and farmers must follow these requirements to get the certification.
If a coffee is not labeled as "Certified Organic" does that mean that chemical fertilizers and pesticides are used? Not necessarily. Small farmers often can't afford to use chemical fertilizers especially in today's market. Most are respectful of the land that provides their income. The organic certification process is too costly therefore unattainable for many small farmers.
If a coffee is grown by organic methods (certified or not), does it taste better? Again, not necessarily. There are some great tasting coffees like our Colombian Excelso on the market today.
