Pistol & Burnes Coffee

Pistol & Burnes is a family operated and Canadian owned coffee company. Their roasting facilities are located in Delta. They choose the best green organic beans, pay fair trade prices, then roast and package the coffee locally for the freshest and best tasting product.

In addition, Pistol & Burnes uses a compostable bag. Most roasted coffee sold in the world is packaged in either foil bags (coated in plastic) or paper bags (with a plastic liner). The problem with this type of packaging is the inability to recycle the material afterwards, resulting in bags ending up in a landfill.

Pistol & Burnes now packages their coffee beans in compostable materials. The coffee is packaged in a paper bag which is lined with the NatureFlex cellulose film produced from wood pulp sourced from managed plantations.

The cellulose film is fully certified to the European and American standards for compostable packaging by Vinçotte, Din Certco, and the BPI as home compostable and will also biodegrade in a waste water environment.

Green Earth Organics is excited to be carrying several different Pistol & Burnes coffee blends in environmentally friendly packaging: Spitfire Longbottom's Dark Roast, West Coast Medium Roast, and Dog & Trombone Espresso. All of these coffees are whole bean and in 16 oz packages (our other coffees are all in 12 oz packages, thus the price difference).

Pistol & Burnes also carries a unique product: organic, fair trade, dessert coffees. Also in 16 oz, compostable bags, we're offering two of these: French Vanilla and Hazelnut Cream.

We hope you will enjoy these new offerings. If there's an organic product you would like us to carry, please call us at 604-708-2345 or email info@greenearthorganics.com.
