And Bella Barista, BM’s partner roaster, has become the first coffee roaster in the UK and Europe to be licensed and certified Regenerative Organic, as well as Fazenda Camocim, where BM’s Perkee Santo coffee is grown.
“I am thrilled to announce that Bella Barista is now Regenerative Organic Certified,” said Marcel Binley, managing director of Bella Barista.
“We believe in the power of organic and biodynamic farming in the coffee industry. The Regenerative Organic Alliance's commitment to regenerative farming aligns perfectly with our values, and we are eager to support their efforts in creating a more sustainable and prosperous future.”
Regenerative Organic Certified uses the USDA Certified Organic standard as a baseline, adding further criteria and benchmarks to certify farms and products that meet the highest organic agricultural standards for soil health, animal welfare, and farm worker fairness.
