Red Beans – 100% sustainable Dutch coffee



When one mentions coffee, most people think of exotic locations world-wide… Latin America, Asia perhaps… But have you ever heard of Dutch Coffee?

Since 1891, the Neutebom Roasting company has been active in Almelo, the Netherlands. This small company was then taken over in 2003 by Gilbert Willensen and Jan Willem with the vision of providing the Netherlands with high quality and sustainable coffee beans.

The beans are 100% biologically grown with no use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers and are hand-picked, thereby eliminating the impact made by machinery, their emissions and increasing the quality of the beans as only the ripe ones are selected.

The people producing the beans are also not left out and receive not only a fair trade premium but also a bio-premium… Good ethics wouldn’t you say?
