Why KopiLuwak Organic Coffee Matters?

Everyone loves all things organic, from fresh produce to organic supermarket items but did you know that coffee is one of the most chemically drenched products in the world? This is why we only use organically grown coffee beans from reputable producers throughout the world. The chemicals used in growing the beans does not only mess with our bodies, our health but impact ecosystems and the future of the coffee industry as a whole. The reason why our Organic Coffee matters is: Sustainability, It’s great taste and the health factor.

Sustainability

This is a word thrown around all the time which is a good thing, but what does it really mean? According to the dictionary, Sustainability is the ”avoidance of the depletion of natural resources in order to maintain an ecological balance.” Basically, crops that use chemicals will mess up the environment, polluting waterways, habitats and poisoning the very soil that plants live in. Seems like a pretty counterproductive idea. On the other hand, organic coffee plantations ensure that the ecosystem is preserved and that plants have very little impact on their surrounding environment. These farms also choose shade-grown coffee plants preventing the need for deforestation, resulting in higher quality coffee; win-win!

Taste and See!

It’s a no brainer really that organic coffee tastes better. What would you rather have, chemicals in your coffee, or the natural flavours of surrounding organic plants permeating through your beverage? Coffee plants are aromatic, so they soak up the flavours of plants living around them, including fruit or even cacao plants. Yummy! Because organic coffee plantations often occur in the shade, the flavours are even richer.

Health Factors

And considering long term implications, let’s look at how non-organic coffee can impact your health. Chemicals used in coffee production can potentially cause cancer, irritate eyes, skin and upset your nervous system. When you think of how many cups of coffee the average person drinks a day, it’s a pretty substantial issue. On the other hand, Organic Coffee is bursting with lovely antioxidants that have been proven to reduce the likelihood of cancer. It can also reduce the likelihood of:
  • Heart disease
  • Neurological diseases, like Parkinson’s
  • Type 2 diabetes
  • Suicide
  • Pretty impressive stuff!
