Coffee by Nature
When the new harvest is ready in September-October 2023,
we will introduce the coffee that is certified
to protect the forests, the nature, and the biodiversity.
It has the world ́s toughest certification.
Coffee by Nature is grown in the altitude of 800- 1500 meters, by indigenous farmers on small family farms.
It has been grown inside the forest, with a leaf coverage of
40 to 80%. The leaf coverage provides for a tasty coffee and for a high protection of the biodiversity.
The quality and the price level of Coffee by nature are within the upper 25% of the scale.
The farmers have received training and education, a bonus payment per kilo, and their children attend 5 years of free education.
