What We Test For

Coffee should be pure. That's why every batch of Java Planet coffee goes through independent, third-party lab testing before it is roasted, packed, and shipped to you. If a lot does not pass, it does not ship. Simple as that.

What we test for Why it matters Our standard
Mold Improperly dried or stored green coffee can develop mold. Tested every lot. Must pass before roasting.
Mycotoxins (incl. ochratoxin A, aflatoxins) Toxins some molds produce. A top concern for health-conscious coffee drinkers. Third-party tested. Lots must be free of mycotoxins to ship.
Heavy metals (lead, cadmium, arsenic) Soil and processing contaminants that can accumulate in food products. Third-party tested. Lots must pass to ship.

We are assembling individual Certificates of Analysis (COAs) for publication on this page. In the meantime, reports are available on request — email support@java-planet.com and we'll send the results for the lot your coffee came from.
