O COFFEE History

Welcome to the rich history of O COFFEE, a social enterprise that has been brewing excellence since 2001. Here's a glimpse into our journey of crafting exceptional hand-crafted coffees with a purpose.

## Origin and Purpose

O COFFEE was born with a vision – to produce and sell hand-crafted coffees that transcend the ordinary. From the outset, we aimed to make a meaningful impact on both the environment and society. Our distinctive approach involves a unique partnership with women's organizations in Brazil and Kenya. Together, we cultivate coffee in environmentally sustainable ways, empowering women through farming income.

## Shade-Grown Excellence

What sets O COFFEE apart is our commitment to quality and community development. Our coffee is shade-grown in small villages by women's collectives. This not only guarantees exceptional coffee but also fosters community growth. We believe in cultivating not just beans but communities that thrive.

## Good Coffee for Good Causes

At the heart of O COFFEE are two core goals – providing excellent coffee for good causes and supporting shelters in Canada through coffee donations. To fulfill these objectives, we introduced our renowned product line, "Beans with Benefits."

## Beans with Benefits

Our signature line combines quality arabica coffee with added superfood ingredients and functional lattes. The secret? Each flavored coffee contains five servings of fruit and vegetable nutrients sourced from upcycled Canadian-grown produce. It's not just coffee; it's a delightful and nutritious experience.

- **Flavors that Delight:** Vanilla Creme, Pumpkin Spice, Mocha, Cookies 'n Cream, Caramel, Egg Nog.

## Functional Boosted Blends

Taking it a step further, O COFFEE offers boosted blends designed to target specific health needs. These blends incorporate the goodness of Beans with Benefits with Boosted Benefits like Adrenal, Period, Nitro, Collagen, and Brainiac.

## Sustainability 

By using only biodegradable and compostable packaging with minimal inks and dyes, and partnering with environmental programs, our coffees are produced with sustainable goals.

## Brewing a Better World

Beyond the cup, O COFFEE is a socially conscious corporation working tirelessly to create positive change. Through partnerships with women's organizations and coffee donations to shelters in Canada, we strive to make a difference. Join us on this journey, and let's brew a better world together, one cup at a time.

Who We Are

We are farmers. With a long history of coffee plantations with stories and dreams of coffee that did more for you than the average cup. From times and places when coffee and plants were all they had. Coffee needed to be the way to bring nutrition to the people.

Our old time plantation coffees were enriched with plants, herbs and botanicals to help get the most out of the coffee bean, smooth the caffeine ride to a steady pace, with a good dose of antioxidants and immune boosting power to help get through hard times.
A few vintage recipes from our great grandparents, a bit of science, and some guts and determination made those dreams come true.
Ok so you are probably asking.... is my O COFFEE going to taste like...broccoli? No way! Our farm crafted technique carefully infuses our beans with plant nutrients and allows our great superior flavors O COFFEE flavor to shine. No broccoli. Just really great coffee that's got you covered. we guarantee it!
