    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.

    The JARC varietal is a hybrid coffee variety developed by the Jimma Agricultural Research Center in Ethiopia. It was created to resist coffee berry disease and coffee leaf rust, which are significant threats to coffee production in Ethiopia.

    About the Farm

    • Yirgacheffe's Banko Gotiti, located in Ethiopia's Gedeo Zone within the Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples' Region, is renowned for producing exceptional specialty coffee. Situated at elevations of 1,900 to 2,300 meters, the area benefits from ideal conditions: an annual rainfall of 1,200 to 1,599 mm and rich, red-brown to gray loamy clay soil packed with organic matter. Together, this altitude, climate, and fertile soil give Banko Gotiti coffee its distinct flavour profile.
    • Beyond its reputation for coffee, Banko Gotiti is a community with a deep-rooted cultural heritage. Here, coffee is not just a crop but a way of life, woven into the social and economic fabric of the people. Cultivating and harvesting coffee is a tradition passed through generations, and many families in the community work together on smallholder farms, typically a few hectares in size, to hand-pick and process coffee cherries with care. Life here thrives on agriculture, and coffee provides the primary source of income, supporting their traditional lifestyle and unique cultural practices, which include music, folklore, and a reputation for warm hospitality.
    • At our mill collection points, farmers deliver hand-picked coffee cherries, which undergo rigorous sorting to remove any imperfect beans, ensuring quality from the start. After sorting, the cherries enter our cold anaerobic fermentation facility, where they are sealed in oxygen-free, pressurised jars. This environment allows us to control sugar levels, temperature, and pressure precisely, resulting in an exceptional flavour profile. The fermentation process takes 7 to 10 days at a controlled temperature of 15 to 18°C.

    The nose on this coffee jumps out of the bag in the most delightful, berry forward way. It is so aptly named! Falls a bit short on the palate for me, I think the juicy nose is just begging for a bit bigger, more unctuous body and it unfortunately falls a tad bit flat for me. I easily drank the whole bag but I don't think I'd rush back to buy more.

    Fruity

    It's good, better for filter. As espresso it had a mild astringency I just couldn't dial out

    Our new favorite

    This is our new favorite for a straight coffee or espresso. No milk for this one. The fruity, bright notes and light sweetness are best on their own. It makes exceptional espresso shots and the aroma is incredible. This is a great coffee if you like a nuanced flavour without any bitterness.

    Biotre bags are made 100% from plant based material.

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

    Composting Biotrē Bags

    You can compost the outer lining in a healthy home compost, which will break down within 12 weeks.
