Urth Caffé works directly with heirloom, organic coffee farmers around the world to utilize holistic approaches with sustainable and biodynamic practices – growing coffee trees in the shade while using renewable soil fertilization, and natural pest control to conserve the forest and the natural habitat for primates, birds, and indigenous rainforests.
Deforestation is another major problem of conventional coffee production. Original, heirloom coffee trees literally do not grow in direct sunlight. Scientists, in the name of “progress,” developed GMO, sun-resistant coffee tree hybrids that have come to comprise 70% of the world's coffee production.
Coffee farmers are clearing lush rainforests (destroying animal and bird habitats) at alarming rates to make room for GMO, sun-resistant coffee trees.
Our coffees must be certified as "organically grown" by reputable third-party inspectors. Certified organic for Urth Caffé means coffee is grown 100% chemical free. Inspectors test soil, leaves, and beans for chemical residue. All Urth coffees are fully inspected, documented, and certified annually.
Urth’s heirloom and organic coffees are naturally lower in acid and healthier for all!
