Are there mycotoxins in coffee?2021-04-09T12:39:11-02:30

Mycotoxins are naturally occurring and can be found on foods such as dried fruits, nuts, spices, cereals, cocoa and coffee beans. Because of this, Jumping Bean holds a high standard in sourcing premium fairtrade organic green beans to mitigate the risk of mycotoxin exposure.

Are there sulphites in coffee?2021-06-16T11:53:48-02:30

Jumping Bean non-flavoured whole bean coffee and coffee pods are made of 100% Arabica coffee with no additives or preservatives. The flavours used in the Jumping Bean flavoured whole bean coffee and coffee pods contain sulphite levels that are less than 10 ppm as per acceptable Health Canada guidelines. Sulphites are not naturally occurring in roasted coffee but can be found in sweeteners or creamers that may be added to brewed coffee. We recommend that any individual with a food allergy or sensitivity not consume any products that may be a cause of concern for their health. Please consult a doctor or other health care professionals if any food-based sensitivity is suspected.

How much caffeine is in one cup of Jumping Bean Coffee?2021-06-16T12:14:19-02:30

It all depends on how the coffee has been roasted and brewed and how much coffee is used. Generally, one double shot (2oz) of espresso has about 80mg while a 12oz cup of drip coffee contains 120mg of caffeine.

Mythbuster: Which coffee is stronger, light or dark roast?2021-06-17T10:04:39-02:30

Although the flavour profile of dark roasts are stronger and more robust, during the roasting process coffee beans expand. If you measure your coffee by scoops, light roasted coffee will have more caffeine since the beans are roasted for less time and are therefore smaller in size compared to dark roasts.

Where does Jumping Bean source their premium beans?2021-06-17T09:55:38-02:30

Our premium beans are sourced from South America, Central America, Africa and Indonesia.

Why are some beans oiler than others?2021-06-17T10:08:18-02:30

Coffee oils are naturally brought out during the roasting process. The darker the roast, the more likely the beans are to release their oils.

If you are a fan of darker roasts like our French Colombian or Deep Water Dark, we recommend cleaning your brewing equipment frequently to avoid excessive oil/coffee build up.
