You can be an organic coffee
purist who buys imported

to-go/
and roasts just enough for a
day’s consumption.

Or you can be a lover of
healthy organic coffee with a
busy life and rarely be at
home.

If the latter is the case then
where can you find organic
coffee to go?

house chains and what we
could find out about their

These folks have evolved
from a string of donut shops
to a fast food chain with good

McCafe

McDonald’s upgraded its
coffee several years ago and
added a coffee house niche
in many of their restaurants.
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/2023/organic-coffee-
to-go/
Much if not all of their coffee
depending on which country
you are in is Rainforest
Alliance Certified, UTZ
Certified or Fair Trade
International.
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/2023/organic-coffee-
to-go/
Their move to high quality
certified coffee is especially
important as McDonald’s
serves a billion cups of coffee each year in the USA alone.

Tully’s Coffee
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/2023/organic-coffee-

These folks used to sell
100% organic Fair Trade
coffee.

Peet’s Coffee & Tea
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/2023/organic-coffee-
to-go/
This company was started by
Alfred Peet who first provided
gourmet coffees to his
customers.
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/2023/organic-coffee-
to-go/
And yes you can get organic
coffee to go at their
establishments.
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/2023/organic-coffee-

Tim Horton’s
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/2023/organic-coffee-
to-go/
This company does not use
organic or other coffees
certified by outside
organizations.
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/2023/organic-coffee-
to-go/
Rather they work directly with
growers. Coffee and
Conservation quotes the Tim
Horton web site.
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/2023/organic-coffee-
to-go/
On their web site, the company explains, “we decided against buying fair trade coffee” and instead developed a program that works directly with the growers. This program, initiated in 2005, is called the Sustainable Coffee Partnership, and is implemented and managed by the outside organization EDE Consulting, of the Neumann Kaffee Gruppe, Hamburg, Germany.
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/2023/organic-coffee-
to-go/
The Partnership will focus on three-year projects. These will provide technical assistance and investment in infrastructure to improve productivity and quality, aid in crop diversification (such as bananas), address the needs of families, and emphasize “the need to respect and protect the environment.”
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/2023/organic-coffee-

And there are lots of smaller
coffee shops where you can
get organic coffee to go but
you need to ask.
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/2023/organic-coffee-
to-go/
And if they do not have any
you can ask them to buy a
bag and offer it to their
customers.
http://buyorganiccoffee.org/2023/organic-coffee-
to-go/
And if all else fails you can
make your organic coffee at
home and carry a thermos to
keep it warm until the
afternoon coffee break.
Just a thought.
