    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

    • Introducing Peak Season, a single origin coffee from Petatán, Huehuetenango, produced with dedication by second-generation farmer, Rosendo Domingo. Nestled at a high point near Petatán, the farm’s name, La Cumbre, reflects its elevated position in the lush Guatemalan highlands, where the unique microclimate and high altitude contribute to the exceptional quality of the coffee.
    • Rosendo’s commitment to their craft shines through every step of the process. They ensures that only the ripest cherries are picked, and they are depulped on the same day to preserve freshness. The coffee undergoes a meticulous fermentation in water for 36 to 40 hours, followed by a careful washing process. During drying, Rosendo’s methodical approach shines again, as they initially dries the beans in thick layers to control humidity before gradually thinning the layers under the sun for five days, bringing the coffee to the ideal 12% humidity. Every batch is then hand-sorted, ensuring only the finest beans make it through, free from defects or impurities.
    • La Cumbre represents not only the high quality of Huehuetenango coffee but also the Domingo family’s journey toward a better future. For over 30 years, coffee has been the lifeblood of their farm, providing a path to prosperity. Today, Rosendo continues the legacy alongside his two sisters, with plans to refine their washing techniques and explore honey and natural processes.
    • In each cup of La Cumbre, you’ll taste the care, tradition, and vision of Rosendo and his family. Expect vibrant acidity, deep sweetness, and a silky body—a coffee that reflects the high peaks of Petatán and the dedication of the people who cultivate it.

    Not Bad

    I would have expected more body, sweetness, and acidity based on the description, but it's pleasant. To me it is more traditional (nutty) with a light feeling to it (almost tea-like). That's basically the opposite of the description, so maybe I'm crazy.
