Why is L'Arbre à Café invested in biodynamics?

Since its inception in 2009, L'Arbre à Café has been committed to biodynamic agriculture, so much so that the first coffees purchased were certified Demeter, the biodynamic label.

And the first producer Hippolyte Courty met, the first farm he visited, was already in biodynamics.


Biodynamics and L'Arbre à Café are therefore symbiotic, natural and obvious. One cannot go without the other.

But why such a choice?

Simply because biodynamically farmed and/or biodynamically processed products taste better than others. The world of wine shows it admirably today. Isn't Romanée-Conti a biodynamic wine? And consumers are finally embracing it. Wines like coffee, apples, oranges or vegetables have more taste, more aromatic complexity, more length in the mouth, and have an extra soul that some people are sensitive to.


Moreover, biodynamic coffees, like all products, are often better for your health than others. Studies are multiplying on this subject and should flourish very soon.


On the other hand, biodynamics isone of the best forms of agriculture for the soil and for the plantations. It acts directly on the recomposition of the soil, its vitality and therefore its richness, its aeration, its fauna, its ability to drain etc...

Finally, biodynamics allows farmers to grow profitable crops without any budget for inputs. No more chemical inputs, no more bills and debts for fertilizers, pesticides etc..., hello preparations, made on the spot or bought for a few euros and sprayed, most often, in infinitesimal quantities. It is true that more manpower is needed, but a conscious manpower, happy to improve his environment and not to exploit it.
