    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

    Santa Lucia

    • Helcio has been working with coffee since he was 15 years old. In 1976, Helcio married Glycia Pereira Carneiro and began to manage the farm, Santa Lucia. At that time there was no concern about the quality of coffee, the focus was simply on volume. They had no access to knowledge, technology or even information about markets for Specialty coffees.
    • In the 90s, Helcio was part of the movement that started searching for quality in the region of Carmo de Minas, being one of the founders of Aprocam – Association of Coffee Producers from the Mantiqueira Region.

    Finca Santa Ines

    • Finca Santa Inés de Medina was originally part of farm El Potrero, property of the Herrera family. It is located in Antigua, Guatemala, 15 minutes away from Antigua’s central park. Margarita Herrera, daughter of Carlos Herrera the original owner, inherited the farm to her son Raul Minondo who ran the farm until he passed away in 2010. Raul Minondo Ayau, took over the farm after his fathers passing, though they’ve been working together for years.
    • As an agricultural engineer, Raul Minondo Ayau, was eager to continue the legacy. Since it’s beginning, Santa Ines has always strived to maintain traditional varieties and practices that have long characterized and made Antigua Coffee, world famous. Raul has always been passionate of friendly farming and optimization of resources. Thus, he has converted Santa Ines into a coffee garden. Utilizing avocado trees for shade, black beans for intercropping and nitrogen fixation in the ground, and even trying out new production techniques, Santa Ines is a coffee haven.

    Terrific Everyday Coffee

    Pour some Two Wheel beans into our Breville Oracle machine and it always turns out a very solid latte or Americano. Our go-to bean for a morning cup.

    so good!

    I live in Nova Scotia, and happened across a bag of the Two Wheel Espresso beans at Winners. I have really enjoyed the lattes and cappuccinos using these beans in my machine. I am just sad that it is likely a one time find here.

    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.
