    Biotrē Bags 2.0

    Our 340g and 2lb coffee bags are made entirely of from plant materials and breakdown in a relatively short period of time.

     Biotrē 2.0 FAQ 

    Are these bags completely compostable?
    No, due to the inner lining made of sugar cane. However, this layer is made sustainably with 100% renewable material (meaning not made of fossil fuels, but instead bio-based and natural resources that can be replenished through a natural process).

    That’s not all. About 60% of the bag components break down under standard composting conditions, so they can be partially composted in your back yard compost. Go earth!


    Can I put this in the city compost?

    You should not put these bags in the Calgary city compost, due to rudimentary composting facilities. However, you can compost the outer lining in a healthy home compost which will break down within 12 weeks. Dispose of the sugar cane layer in the garbage afterward.

    What if I don't have access to a backyard compost?
    Please dispose of the bags in the garbage. It may feel wasteful, however, these bags will break down at least 10 times faster in a landfill vs other coffee bags because of the plant-based materials they're made with.


    How are these bags better for the environment?
    The plant-based components that go into Biotre® 2.0 absorb the greenhouse gas CO2 through natural plant respiration prior to being used. Manufacturing these bags produces a significantly smaller carbon footprint (as much as 60% less from the typical coffee bags). They break down much faster in the landfill as well. We're talking 5-10 years vs 100 years, which is the time it takes for most other coffee bags to break down!

     


    Our 340g and 2lb bags are made with Biotrē 2.0 materials, which are 60% compostable and 100% renewable, including the valve!

    Additional FAQ on our new bags

    What’s the difference between the red bag and the black bag?
    The red bag contains the coffees with an acidity rating from 3-5. The black bag contains coffees with an acidity rating of 2 or lower.
    In summary: coffees that are a little more adventurous—red; comfortable and more classic coffees—black.


    How does the Sweetness, Acidity, and Body Scale work?

    This is an internal scale from 0-5 comparing our own coffees. Each coffee is cupped and the sweetness, acidity, and body are rated. Keep in mind that different brewing methods may affect results.

    About the Farm

    Doi Saket, located in the Chiang Mai province, is the oldest coffee-growing area in Thailand. In the late 1970s, it became the testing ground for the first Arabica trees as part of the opium replacement program initiated by the Thai King. Remarkably, these trees have never been replaced with higher-yield cultivars, unlike many other regions. Consequently, heirloom varietals, especially Typica, remain prevalent on many of the old farms. The coffee trees here are 30-40 years old, making them even older than the farmers themselves. Our mission is to show these farmers that there are people willing to appreciate and pay more for heirloom cultivars, despite their lower yield. Unfortunately, Typica has become rare as farmers have opted for higher-yielding and rust-resistant strains.

    The coffee we present is an experimental lot from Doi Saket in Chiang Mai, cultivated by Nui and Aoy, a young couple who left their white-collar jobs in the city to return to their parents' coffee farm seven years ago. Nui, aged 36, has an engineering background, while Aoy, aged 33, is an accountant by training.

    Regarding the green coffee preparation process, the beans underwent destoning, hulling, size grading, and density sorting, with multiple passes through the density table. The green coffee was shipped in a triple-layered bag, consisting of a cotton outer layer, High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) in the middle layer, and Grain Pro as the innermost layer.

    Best coffee ever

    Super jammy coffee that's sweet, not too acidic, funky but balanced. Perfect in between. Hopefully it comes back!

    First Foray Into Thai Coffee

    Slightly acidic. Citrusy with a finishing sweetness. Interesting coffee.

    Biotre bags are made 100% from plant based material.

    Both the manufacturing and disposing process is better for the environment.
