Question 1

Are you certified bird friendly?

Accepted Answer

Yes our Guatemalan is certified Bird Friendly! Java Planet is now approved as an authorized Bird Friendly certified roaster!

Question 2

Do you test for mold toxins?

Accepted Answer

Hello. While we do not test for toxins in our coffee,  most of our coffee beans are wet processed which would eliminate all but a small amount of mycotoxins, if they were present.  Roasting would further reduce any mycotoxins present.  In addition, the quality of green coffee beans is rated according to a grading system. Having molds or mycotoxins significantly lowers the score... and if they exceed a certain level, the crops will be discarded. All of our coffees are Specialty Grade A coffee, the highest grade coffee beans produced, further eliminating the possibility of mycotoxins in our coffee.  These is an interesting article about mycotoxins that you might be interested in reading. It shows that mycotoxins are in many of the foods and even the water we drink so it is almost impossible not to consume any.  https://authoritynutrition.com/the-mycotoxins-in-coffee-myth/. I hope this helps. Best, Jennifer at Java Planet

Question 3

Which non or low acid coffee has rated best taste?

Accepted Answer

The Colombian Roast is a nice, rich full flavored coffee that is not harsh on the taste buds or the tummy.  I suffer from stout stomach issues so I am careful of the brands of coffee I use.  Java Planet's Coffees are coffees I don't want to be without, because of the ease on my tummy and also the taste.  I would caution anyone; coffee is such an individual thing.  What is great to one person may not be to another.  I can sing the praises of Java Planet all day, but there will be people out there who think its too weak, or isn't flavorful enough, etc.  For a low acidic coffee, organic, Fair Trade and Bird Sanctuary Friendly, you absolutely cannot go wrong giving this one a try.  Happy Sipping!

Question 4

Do you source through direct trade? What's the travel time from harvest to retail? Also, are the beans hand harvested or machine harvested?

Accepted Answer

From the moment the cherry is harvested to the time the coffee reaches us the time period is roughly 4 months.  The first 3 months are taken up with harvesting, drying, resting time, dry milling and voyage from origin to USA. Coffee in Guatemala is handpicked.  We do not source through Direct Trade currently.
