Organic Produce

Our organic coffee and cacao beans are sourced ethically through direct trade with the farm in Panama. Our organic coffee is a washed processed bean of the Catura and Catuai Rojo varietals, from the Santos Cafe farm in Renacimiento. The cacao includes two varietals of Forastero and Trinitario. The cacao is sourced from Rambala, Chiriqui Grande, Bocas del Toro where the beans are processeed using traditional techniques of fermentation in wooden baths and then dried in African beds under natural sunlight. The grower of these beans, Jose Israel Hernanez works in partnership with Santos Cafe in Panama to ensure these beans reach us in the finest condition. The farm in Panama follows organic methods of production, however we choose not to certify these in Australia so that the cost of certification can instead be shared with the growers and support the farm. As an alternative to paying for certification, our direct and personal relationships with the team in Panama means we can all continue an open conversation about the farming methods they use.
