What about organic certified coffee?

At OR coffee we don’t buy coffee for their labels. For example all our Ethiopian coffees are sustainably grown, pesticide free or ‘organic’, but unfortunately we cannot call them "Organic Certified". The reason being official certification is too expensive for most producers. The same is true for us, as roasters we actually pay an extra fee for every bag of organic coffee we roast.

Does this mean we are against organic certified coffees?

No, of course not! We believe strongly that sustainable farming is an important step towards a better future for our planet. For this reason we work with organic certified producers, like our Brazilian friends from the family Dutra, who have worked many years towards producing coffee in a sustainable way. We are very proud of them! It is thanks to their hard work that we can sell organic certified specialty coffee in Belgium.

It is however important to be aware of these labels, because organic coffee is not necessarily specialty coffee. At OR Coffee quality will always be first.

The Close To Nature Blend, crafted by OR Coffee Roasters, centers on a profile defined by dark chocolate. When evaluating such blends, it is helpful to consider how roasting techniques influence the final cup; darker roasts often emphasize the deeper, more resonant base notes of a bean, moving away from the bright acidity found in lighter profiles. This specific focus on chocolatey depth provides a grounded, classic experience that serves as a reliable benchmark for those exploring the flavor wheel.

While the sensory experience of a blend is shaped by the roaster's specific approach, the resulting cup remains a testament to the balance achieved between origin characteristics and heat application. By prioritizing a singular, rich flavor profile, this blend offers a straightforward and comforting cup, ideal for those who appreciate the traditional, indulgent qualities that dark chocolate notes bring to the palate.
