All Coffee Bean Bear coffee is organically grown. The flavorings we use are both natural and artificial. Therefore, to abide by USDA regulations, our ground coffee cannot be labeled organic. However, because the whole beans are not intended for consumption (non-food item) we can recognize their organic beginnings.

Currently we only take customer orders through our website. UNFORTUNATELY, WE DO NOT TAKE PHONE ORDERS. Another great option is to purchase from one of our retailers in your local community. We apologize for any inconvenience.

The coffee beans we use to fill the Coffee Bean Bears as well as the ground coffee comes from coffee growing regions all over the world. The origin of the coffee varies for each batch of bears. However, all of our coffee is 100% Arabica and is all organically grown.

These coffees are grown traditionally without the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides. Today, many small farms incorporate traditionally organic farming without the use of chemicals. Some farms are incorporating natural composting in their cultivations for better soil conditions and recycling.

Green coffee beans resemble raw dried beans and have a grassy like smell associated with them. If stored properly, green coffee beans can stay good for years.

In the Untied States, a coffee must have at least 97% of its caffeine removed to qualify as decaffeinated. There are basically three methods of decaffeinating: water, carbon dioxide, and solvent decaffeinating. All coffees are decaffeinated in their green raw form. Because of the process, decaffeinated coffee will take on a different appearance. The color changes from a natural jade green to a brownish tone.

Green bean is a term used to describe coffee in the state that it leaves the plantation and is transported around the world. At this stage it should have been dried down to about 12% moisture to minimise deterioration. The coffee has no aroma at this point, only when it's roasted.

That depends on how quickly you plan to brew and drink it. Beans will begin to loose some freshness and taste once they're ground. Whole bean is generally preferred. Grind what you need and store the remaining beans in an airtight container. If you plan to use a majority at one time, then ground coffee is more convenient. Yes, solid foil gusted bags with one way valves are the package of choice. This type of packaging keeps the product airtight and protects coffee from light.

We start with the finest organic, premium grade 100% Arabica coffee beans. We fresh roast the coffee beans and immediately extract the pure coffee liquor. Java Juice is then individually packaged in special barrier film that seals in the full flavor and aroma of the coffee for up to six months. We source the beans from only the finest harvests; then roast them to perfection at our certified organic coffee roastery.

To most people, when you mention Mocha they think of a blend of coffee and chocolate. Really though, Mocha is very expensive and it has nothing to do with it because Mocha beans are hard to find and cost a lot of money. When coffee beans were first offered for sale they were sold by pharmacists, of all people. Later on Coffee houses started selling them.

Without a doubt it is better to purchase whole beans and grind them immediately before brewing. Whole bean coffee stays fresh longer because there is less surface area exposed to oxygen. As soon as you grind the coffee, oxygen attacks every little coffee particle.
