For our Whole Bean and Cold-Brew Coffees, Chameleon takes pride in sourcing organic and specialty quality coffee. The USDA Organic logo appears on our bottles and bags, so what does it mean to have organic coffee that is also specialty grade?
Chameleon Cold-Brew: From Bean to Cup
Chameleon Cold-Brew is committed to brewing organic, premium and sustainably sourced coffee. Our mission is to develop long-term economic, environmental, and social sustainability through compassionate leadership throughout the coffee supply chain
While there can be specialty grade coffee that is not certified organic, there can also be certified organic coffee that is not specialty grade. Coffee we source at Chameleon is classified as "Organic Specialty," as it is both organic and specialty quality.
Why "Organic Specialty"?
We understand that sourcing only organic specialty coffee takes a lot of time and effort, particularly since it accounts for such a small percentage of global coffee production. We assume, however, that the best coffee not only tastes great, but it also does not add to the environmental harm caused by non-organic farming practices.
To address these issues, Chameleon Cold-Brew invests in their partners and supply chain to ensure that the farmers are well-treated and that there is a consistent supply of some of the world's best organic coffees. Chameleon is also supporting women-led cooperatives in Myanmar, as well as Indonesia and Peru in the near future, by co-funding organic certification for their coffee and ensuring that their communities benefit from higher-quality, organic coffee production.
