FAQ

Where do you source your coffee from?

We source our beans from small farms in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania. We have been to these farms with our importer and do not work with cooperatives, who tend to squeeze farmer profit margins which forces them into unethical/unsustainable farming practices.

Does your coffee contain Mycotoxins?

We source our beans from premium suppliers who discard any undesirable crop and who use wet processing to eliminate mold and toxins - and then the roasting process ensures our coffee further free from them. The negative effect of mycotoxins has been proven to be vastly over exaggerated by some coffee companies as even having 4 cups of average coffee per day only contains around 2% of the daily recommended maximum of the concerning ochratoxin A mycotoxin.

How do you ensure my coffee is toxin-free?

When the coffee arrives in South Africa we do an initial screening for moulds. The beans are then stored in a proprietary manner that severely restricts mould's ability to grow - this is done through a combination of temperature, humidity and light regulation. Before roasting, we send a blended batch of ground beans to a SANAS-accredited food safety lab for accurate 3rd-party testing. The roasted coffee is sent to our GMP-certified co-packer who ensures it's packed, sealed and labelled in a sterile, negative pressure environment.

What are nootropics and adaptogens?

Nootropics and adaptogens are cognitive enhancing supplements that improve the executive functions of your mind such as motivation, memory and creativity. Many studies show that they also have significant physical performance and health benefits. We have added the most effective nootropics and adaptogens to our blends to give you all-round better performance and the help improve overall health & wellbeing.

How should I store my coffee?

We recommend you store it at room temperature, away from sunlight and zip sealed.

Our bags use a one-way valve which allows the natural CO2 emitted by the grounds to escape the bag, while not allowing additional oxygen in, and thus slow down the natural oxidative processes that typically ruin coffee.

What is CBD and why is it in my CBD Coffee?

Cannabidiol or CBD is one of the most effective supplemental/'medicinal' extracts that can be extracted from Hemp/Cannabis - it is commonly used to ease pain, inflammation, anxiety and various other concerns, or as a preventative measure against them. We have used pure 99.99% Cannabidiol (CBD) from a Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) certified lab and the latest proprietary method of infusion to infuse our organically grown coffee with this “medicinal” hemp/cannabis extract.

Coffee and CBD both improve mood and serotonin levels and have antioxidant properties. The caffeine + CBD combination stimulates a calmer, jitter-free and more focussed energy when compared to normal coffee, alongside an effective dose of CBD. Our CBD Coffee blend is lab tested and does not contain the psychoactive THC molecule so you will not feel “high”.

What are the white specs in my Focus Coffee?

That would be L-theanine which is water soluble and will dissolve immediately once hot water is added to your coffee.

Are the Healthy Coffee Guy products organic?

Our products are not certified organic but are grown using organic practices without the use of pesticides, herbicides, insecticides or fungicides and are rainforest alliance certified. Organic certification is such an expensive yearly certification that it forces farmers to join cooperatives, who then squeeze the farmer profit margins and make that profit themselves. So, for the most part, we don't recommend buying certified organic coffee.

Are your nootropics illegal performance-enhancing drugs?

Nootropics are derived from natural ingredients and are on the Generally Regarded As Safe list (GRAS).

How much can I have per day?

We recommend not going over 500mg of caffeine per day and therefore do not recommend more than 5 servings of the Focus, Mushroom or CBD blends per day. 

We also do not recommend more than 5 servings of the Calm blend.

What type of grind size do you use for your coffee?

Filter Grind for Focus, Mushroom, Calm Blends.
Whole Bean and Filter Grind options for Zero Toxin and CBD Blends.
