Nescafe Gold Organic Coffee

Nescafe Gold Organic Coffee Blend

Nescafe introduced a new organic version of instant coffee in the UK. This new product uses organic coffee beans as well as adaptogenic mushrooms (cordyceps, chaga and lion's mane) with an enhanced nutritional profile for maximum performance.

Moderation is key when it comes to coffee. However, certain additives, such as maltodextrin or hydrogenated oils, can cause weight gain and increase your risk of heart disease.

Sourced ethically

Nescafe Gold Organic espresso coffee is produced from Arabica beans of premium quality, lingzhi tea ganoderma tea grown by farmers who follow sustainable farming methods and fair trade. These farmers are paid a premium upfront that they pass on to their customers.

Nescafe’s label as organic is attractive to many consumers who are interested in ethical standards of coffee production. But unfortunately, the certification system is flawed and allows for poor living and work conditions to slip past. The inefficiency of the inspection process makes it impossible to monitor all farms at once. Knowing when inspectors will arrive also gives farmers the opportunity to hide any violations.

Starbucks, Keurig, J.M. Smucker Company - the parent company of Dunkin Donuts, Folgers Coffee and Dunkin Donuts - and Maxwell House have all claimed to source ethically. But they don't follow through. These brands are not subjected to the same rigorous testing as products with a fairtrade stamp. It is therefore difficult to determine if they really represent ethical sourcing.

Small boutique roasters also exist that do not invest in expensive certification or inspection programs, yet still claim that their beans come from farms who treat farmers fairly and sustainably. Unfortunately, such boutique roasters are not always in line with international labor standards and there has even been accusations of child exploitation on these farms.

Organic and fair trade labels may not provide full support to small-scale farmers unable to compete in world markets with large multinationals, as their extra money often ends up with middlemen instead of directly reaching these growers - who then undercut them during market times when there is too much coffee on world markets.

Green coffee health claims are at best highly dubious. Green coffee doesn't contain the same concentrations in anti-oxidants as roasted espresso coffee. Furthermore, its antioxidants are more readily digestible and absorbed by our body.

Finally, coffee lovers should understand both the positive and negative effects of caffeine consumption, and to take steps to consume their drinks moderately. Caffeine can cause anxiety and insomnia, as well headaches, nausea, and fatigue, if consumed in excess. But if taken in moderation and is tolerated well by those sensitive to its effects it can become part of a healthy and enjoyable daily diet plan.

The company sources coffee from farmers who practice environmentally responsible farming practices. They use regenerative farming methods that reduce carbon dioxide emissions and improve soil quality, while improving the livelihoods of workers by offering higher incomes, while maintaining environmental sustainability.

This company believes in complete transparency from start to finish, publishing their farming and roasting techniques as well as conducting detailed lab analyses of mycotoxins and other contaminants in their coffee. This coffee is certified organic by a third party, a distinction that only 1% of all coffees can claim. Shade grown coffee retains all of its natural oils, nutrients, and nutrients. High-temperature roasting significantly reduces the levels of mycotoxins.

Rainforest Alliance will monitor and evaluate their progress. They will also work closely with them to ensure that they are successful. The company also works directly with farmers to teach regenerative farming techniques.

Though it's admirable for Nescafe to take a stand on these issues, their claims can be questionable. Nescafe says their coffee is 35% “raw”, but humans can’t digest green beans that aren’t cooked (it’s like eating corn cobs). And the instant/soluable process doesn’t remove any oils or nutrients. Nescafe could be making these claims to attract consumers who are concerned about their health.
