What Are Hermetically Sealed Bags?
All our coffees are sourced in hermetically sealed bags (GrainPro) due to the quality of life benefits received by smallholder farmers such as 20 – 70% increase in revenue to common market value, food/crop loss prevention, and environmental impact by farmers not having to use synthetics or harmful chemicals.
What Do Hermetically Sealed Bags Help With?
-
Food Loss Prevention
GrainPro products help reduce food losses and improve food quality by protecting agriculture commodities against insect infestation, mold growth, oxidation, and rancidity.
-
Increased Value for Farmers
The ability to ensure product quality and sustainability allows farmers to better time market dynamics (supply/demand) and sell their products at optimal times.
-
Improved Quality
GrainPro bags help lock in freshness during the long trip from the farm to our roaster. The GrainPro bags are an extra layer beneath coffee's traditional burlap sacks which help prevent odors, mold, or moisture buildup.
How GrainPro Impacts Flavor
The Power of GrainPro on Flavor and Quality
GrainPro bags keep our green coffee completely sealed so that no odors, mold, or moisture can seep into the beans on their journey to our roaster. GrainPro also allows for safekeeping while at our facility and continues to protect the coffee until it is ready for use.

Carbon Neutral Operations
Learn MoreEverything we make, buy and sell, leaves a carbon trail that we are responsible for reducing. Our first step of action is to offset our prior years' operation and then set ourselves on a path for naturally reducing our emissions through thoughtful business choices.
-
Freshness and Quality
Learn MoreWe put a freshness, quality, and consistency guarantee into every bag of our coffee. For freshness, we source our raw materials during the current and optimal season. All of our blends and single origins are of the highest quality ranging from 86 – 89pt+. Finally, consistency comes down to roasting in small controlled batches for the perfect flavor profile.

World Coffee Research
Learn MoreCoffee plants are at risk due to drastic climate changes, among many other factors. This is why we teamed up with World Coffee Research's effort to improve the crop's sustainability and the farmers' livelihood who grow it. The most efficient way to solve these issues for both businesses and farmers is through collaborative scientific research and development.
