What is on the label?
Primary claim: "Organic Mexico Oaxaca"
What the claims cover
- USDA Organic
- CCOF Certified Organic
What is still missing
- Standard plastic bag is not yet recyclable or compostable.
Worth knowing
- The USDA Organic certification for coffee means the farm practices are audited, and naming the co-op adds another layer of trust and directness to the supply chain.
Where the footprint lives
Scope 3 — the supply chain: The organic certification and named co-op address the upstream farm impact, but the long-distance shipping is still a factor.
Most of a product's emissions sit upstream in Scope 3 — the scope breakdown explains why that decides the score.
Smart swaps and tips
- Look for Fair Trade certification for an even stronger grower impact.
- Compost your coffee grounds — they are great for soil.
