Kion Coffee Whole Bean
Kion offers a high-performance coffee that balances rigorous toxin testing with exceptional flavor. It is consistently rated as one of the best-tasting 'clean' coffees on the market, avoiding the bitter notes often found in high-antioxidant roasts.
Quality & Materials
Sourced from organic farms in Central and South America. Beans are selected for high antioxidant content and zero defects.
Evidence & Testing
Tested for yeast, mold, mycotoxins, and pesticides. They also test for acrylamide levels to ensure they stay within safety limits.
Brand Transparency
Discloses testing protocols clearly on their website, though batch-specific COAs are not as easily retrieved as Natural Force.
Value Assessment
Excellent value for the quality, especially when purchased via subscription, making it more accessible for daily use.
Why Not Alternatives?
Kion provides a better flavor profile than Purity for traditional coffee drinkers while maintaining high standards for mold and mycotoxin testing that mainstream brands ignore.
