Manufacturer product pageHow scoring works
The clean score reads only the ingredient label. Up to 60 points come from the 9 additive groups we check: each group not on the label earns its share, and a group named only in a "may contain" note earns half. Up to 25 points come from an organic claim we have confirmed. Points that do not apply to this kind of food are left out and the rest is scaled to 100.
This product: 9 of 9 groups not on the label. Organic claim confirmed.

Our research notes
What to know before you choose this coffee
The recorded ingredient label lists a single ingredient: 100% organic arabica coffee. None of the additive groups we check appear on the recorded label, and no added sugars or flavors stand out. The maker describes it as organic and kosher; these are the maker’s statements, so look for the certifier’s seal on the package. For this coffee, the comparison that matters most is brewing format: match grind, whole beans, instant coffee or pod compatibility to your equipment.
