Second Cup Coffee Co. - University of Toronto - St. George Campus

ORGANIC CERTIFICATION Cuzco® light roast coffee is certified by the Organic Crop Improvement Association (OCIA). A nonprofit, member-owned certification organization, the OCIA is an independent organic inspector that only gives their seal of approval to organically grown, processed, stored and roasted beans. They verify that no synthetic chemical pesticides, fertilizers, or cleaners have come into contact with our coffee beans. We feel good about serving out coffee. You’ll feel good about drinking it. SWISS WATER DECAFFEINATION PROCESS How do you get the caffeine out of the bean? At Second Cup, it’s with the SWISS WATER® Process. 100% pure and chemical-free, unlike others who use methylene chloride or ethyl acetate to remove caffeine. If we can’t pronounce it, it doesn’t go in our coffee. The SWISS WATER® Process is gentle, and keeps the full, natural flavour of the coffee in your cup. RAINFOREST ALLIANCE CERTIFIED™ We’re proud that nearly every Second Cup coffee is Rainforest Alliance Certified™. That means we uphold our commitment to community and the environment through supporting the rights of workers and their families. And we focus on biodiversity -- Certification helps support sustainable environmental, development on each farm and its surrounding community. Look for the Rainforest Alliance™ symbol on our menu, and raise a cup to sustainable farms. ETHICAL TEA PARTNERSHIP We love coffee, but there’s always room in our hearts for tea. At Second Cup, we only source our tea from members of the Ethical Tea Partnership, an equal-opportunity employer (just like us!) focused on good farming practices and living wages. Health, safety and sustainability is at the heart of all they do, through all links in the tea supply chain. Their focus on clean drinking water improves the social and environmental prospects of tea farmers and their communities.
