Coffee has many health benefits that include increased dopamine and acetylcholine signaling, improved mood and focus, as well as increasing metabolic rate and fat burning via chlorogenic acids. Unfortunately, however, coffee may also contain harmful contaminants like pesticide residues, mold mycotoxins, heavy metals and carcinogenic by-products of roasting; to make sure you get coffee that has been tested and verified as free from these toxicants. For optimal results, make sure your coffee brand meets these standards of quality assurance.

Find clean organic coffee is becoming easier than ever! Here are the best brands you should check out:

Consider third-party testing and transparency: Look for brands that have undergone independent, third-party lab tests that either publish the results publicly or can share them upon request. Look for single-origin coffee; this helps guarantee your beans come from one place – ideally an organic farm that follows stringent quality and growing practices – while shade grown coffee creates more sustainable growing environments that complement nature while decreasing pesticide usage.

Choose USDA Certified Organic beans: This guarantee ensures they were produced on an organic farm that employs sustainable and natural farming practices, including regenerative agriculture practices. Alternatively, Demeter Certified Biodynamic is an original regenerative certification which focuses on rebuilding our planet’s soils while using no harmful pesticides, herbicides or synthetic fertilizers – perfect for rebuilding and restoring.

Choose a coffee company with a trusted, high-quality process: Look for one with their trustPure(tm) process which vets each batch and only selects healthy, clean beans that adhere to standards set forth by health authorities. Consider selecting low acid, pH lab-tested coffee – this means the beans have been roasted to reduce acidity for optimal stomach and dental health as well as mycotoxins, heavy metals, glyphosate breakdown byproducts (GMO), phthalates and AMPA byproducts (which result from GMO breakdown).

As you can see, there are numerous options available to you when it comes to selecting clean organic coffee! For further insight, be sure to take a look at The Clean Label Project’s in-depth research on 57 top-selling coffees containing mycotoxins, heavy metals, phthalates and glyphosate contamination levels – this research includes over 7,069 tests performed. It serves as a great way to understand different contamination levels across brands – packaging type (bag, can or pods) roast type (light medium dark or dark) product claims all had an influence over their contaminant levels.
