Coffee is not for everyone, but for those that need it to kick start their day, there are more places to explore than your average Starbucks or Coffee Bean. Coffee bean production in general is notorious for having loads of pesticides, so if you have an interest in going the pesticide-free route with your morning cup of Joe and still want the taste of a hearty, flavorful brew, you should definitely take a pit stop at a great little organic coffeehouse called Urth Caffé.
Urth Caffé is the first exclusively organic coffee company. Since 1989, they have been serving coffee made using certified organic coffee beans that are absolutely free of chemicals and organically grown to produce a rich flavor and aroma that cannot be beat. My favorite is their dairy-free decaf latte!
Because the coffee industry uses a fair amount of heavy chemicals to deliver great taste from the coffee bean tree to our cups, Urth Caffé ensures their method of coffee production involves completely organic processes. In fact, they’re rigorous standards of production, roasting, and distribution have bolstered them to a fairly prominent position within the organic community.
Urth Caffé requires all source farms they purchase beans from, be grown using environmentally friendly and sustainable practices. Also, their coffee beans are shade-grown, meaning they come from trees that flourish under rainforest trees in their natural habitat, as opposed to sun-resistant coffee tree hybrids that have been developed by the coffee industry for mass production.
An added perk is you do not even have to be a fan of coffee to enjoy your visit. They also offer a great selection of fine, hand picked teas for the average tea lover, and delicious menu of soups, salads and entrees!
