Most coffee is never tested for the things most likely to be in it. We test every batch, and we publish what comes back. Whether it flatters us or not.
Ochratoxin A. Aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, G2. Pesticides and herbicides, screened by LC-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS across several hundred compounds. All on the green bean, before we roast, at independent laboratories accredited to ISO/IEC 17025.
Roasting reduces ochratoxin. Testing the finished coffee flatters the number. We test earlier, on the green bean, where the contamination forms. The honest measure is the harder one.
A part per billion is one milligram in a tonne. Not detected means the compound sat below the laboratory's limit of detection. Results are reported against the international reference methods, and each report is published in full.
Every bag carries its batch number. The report for that lot is published here as it clears.

Our Arabica range is certified organic. Our Malaysian Liberica is organic by practice, grown without synthetic inputs but not certified. We do not blur the line.
An occasional note on origin, roast, and the work behind the bag. Sent rarely. Read slowly.
