Notes Coffee gains organic certification
Notes Coffee Roaster has officially been granted the certification to sell organic coffee to foodservice outlets, as well as its 12 premium cafe bars around London.
Achieving the Organic Food Federation certification gives Notes the seal of approval that its coffee products – specifically its Ethiopian Mohammed Ali and Dambi Uddo single origin – are now produced in accordance with organic standards which comply with the UK organic regulations. It also provides caterers with added confidence in the quality, ethics and sustainability of its coffee products.
To comply with the accreditation requirements, Notes has changed the structure of how it operates its roastery. During its production facility process, for example, organic coffee has been separated from non-organic products and systems – using dedicated green plastic buckets for organic coffee distribution. Procedures are also now fully documented during roasting, giving caterers total reassurance on quality and consistency.
Ali Anderson, sales manager at Notes Coffee, comments: “This is a significant achievement for our business and gives our systems and procedures an exceptional seal of approval. It’s vital that our customers can have confidence in our service and products and everything we do. Being awarded a certification from the Organic Food Federation is further endorsement of our capabilities and commitment to deliver coffee excellence – every serve. But this is only made possible thanks to the passion and expertise we have within the business."
