Caffeine is a chemical produced in dozens of plant species, and, of course, coffee is the plant most often cited for having caffeine. At Purity, we find it unfortunate that many people ONLY look at coffee as a caffeine delivery system designed to stimulate us and keep us awake. Coffee also has hundreds of other compounds besides caffeine that are beneficial. We created Purity CALM for those who want to enjoy coffee and its health benefits, but do not want caffeine.

These marvelous qualities start to fade after 20-30 days. When coffee goes bad, the oils become rancid, the organic materials stale and the taste has distinct bitterness, sourness and dull wood flavor.Purity Coffee is a brand of coffee that was founded in 2016 by Andrew Salisbury and Jim Karr. The company's mission is to provide the healthiest coffee possible by sourcing only organic coffee beans and using a unique roasting process that preserves the natural antioxidants and nutrients found in the coffee beans.

Purity Coffee’s founders — Missy and Jon Butcher and Amber and Andrew Salisbury — started the company to promote the health benefits of drinking coffee. Everything the company does aims to educate you about antioxidants, “Specialty Grade” beans, and more. Further, in mid-2015, the USDA characterized coffee as “a functional food with health benefits”. According to the 2015 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee, “Consumption of coffee has positive health benefits and therefore can be incorporated into a healthy dietary pattern.” However, the vast majority of consumers aren’t aware of the health benefits of coffee, nor are they aware that there’s any real difference between organic specialty coffee and mainstream commodity coffee.

Grind coffee fresh to match your brewing method. Use water around 200 degrees F (93 degrees C). Keep brewing equipment clean. Store coffee beans in an airtight container away from light, heat, and moisture. Conscious Sourcing . Not only do we focus on the health of the coffee itself, but we also have a commitment to environmental sustainability, responsibility to the communities where the coffee is grown, and attention to each stage of the coffee production and distribution processes. Coffee is mostly treated as an industrial crop and often commercial coffee is sprayed with pesticides and must be managed properly, or else it can become contaminated with molds, which can lead to mycotoxins. Purity only sources organic beans and tests all green coffee for mold, pesticides, heavy metals, Ochratoxin A (which can cause kidney damage), and other mycotoxins.

The association between coffee consumption and a decreased risk of liver disease was established over 25 years ago (Klatsky & Armstrong 1992). Since then, a large body of scientific work has elucidated an inverse association between moderate coffee consumption and the risk of developing a range of liver diseases including cancer, fibrosis and cirrhosis. The good news is, these effects have not been found to be exclusively linked to caffeine, which means decaf drinkers can enjoy these benefits as well.
