Ethical Bean Coffee

Ethical Bean Coffee is a boutique coffee brand founded in Vancouver, British Columbia, in 2003. The brand was built on the principles of social responsibility and environmental sustainability, specializing in 100% fair trade and organic certified coffee beans. The company gained significant recognition for its transparency, pioneered through a unique QR code system on every bag that allows consumers to trace their coffee's journey from the farmer to the roaster.

In 2018, the brand was acquired by Kraft Heinz to bolster their presence in the premium coffee market. Despite the acquisition by a global multinational, Ethical Bean continues to operate with a focus on its original mission, maintaining its roasting operations in Canada. The beans are sourced primarily from South and Central America, Southeast Asia, and Africa before being processed at their Canadian facility to ensure high-quality standards and ethical integrity.
