 GOOD LIFE COFFEE CARES

Coffee isn't just a drink, it's a force for good. And GOOD LIFE, we're not just roasting beans, we source our coffee ethically, roast it responsibly, and proudly offer certified carbon-negative coffee that will leave you feeling good in every way.

 CARBON NEGATIVE COFFEE

At GOOD LIFE, we're not just a coffee brand, we're a Carbon Negative force of nature! That means that every cup of our delicious coffee is making a positive impact on the environment. We've partnered with Swiss nonprofit, On A Mission, to accurately measure our CO2 emissions every quarter and offset more carbon through sustainable reforestation efforts around the world.

When you choose GOOD LIFE, you're not just choosing a great-tasting coffee, you're choosing to make a meaningful difference for our planet.

BEHIND THE CUP

Ibisi washing station is located in the mountain hills of Southern Rwanda, just a short drive from the Nyungwe Forest, which has been traced as the source of the Nile River. 

Bernard Uwitije, a native of the area, had been trading non-washed Ordinary coffee up until 2015, when he realized the potential for fully washed specialty grade coffee.

Bernard built his first washing station, Gitega Hills, which operated successfully in his first year and he decided to expand the operations by building a second washing station, Ibisi and the quality at both stations remain outstanding.

At the station the cherry is delivered, floated and separated before then being pulped and fermented until the mucilage is loose enough to be washed off. From here the coffee is then washed in the the grading channels with the denser bean separated from the lighter ones.

After this the coffee is then skin dried under shade netting for the first 1 -2 days and then transferred to raised beds in the sunshine for the next 15 - 22 days.

TASTING NOTES

The table is set for an impossible hour—somewhere between daybreak and dusk, where time lingers. Stone fruits glisten under a honeyed glow, black tea pools in delicate porcelain, and a piece of milk chocolate melts beside a crumble of hazelnut praline, waiting to be tasted.
