At GeekyNana, we’re passionate about great coffee. But we’re just as passionate about what’s not in your coffee. That’s why every batch of GeekyNana coffee is certified mycotoxin-free, heavy metal-free, and mold & yeast-free.
You deserve a coffee that’s pure, clean, and safe — so let’s break down exactly what this means, why it matters, and how we make sure you’re getting the best possible cup every time.
What Are Mycotoxins?
Mycotoxins are naturally occurring toxic compounds produced by certain molds (fungi). They can grow on coffee beans during cultivation, harvesting, or storage, especially in warm, humid environments.
In coffee, one of the most common mycotoxins is ochratoxin A (OTA). It’s been studied for potential effects on kidney health, immune function, and even cognitive performance. While the amount in most commercial coffee is often below harmful levels, traces can still add up over time - especially if you’re drinking coffee daily.
Why Heavy Metals, Mold, and Yeast Also Matter
-
Heavy metals (like lead, cadmium, and mercury) can find their way into coffee plants through soil and water contamination. Overexposure may be linked to long-term health issues.
-
Mold spores can remain on beans and may cause allergic reactions or other sensitivities.
-
Yeast contamination can affect both the flavor and safety of your brew.
When it comes to what you’re putting in your body every single morning, “almost safe” just isn’t good enough for us.
How GeekyNana Coffee Stays Pure
We go beyond standard quality checks:
-
Sourcing – Our beans come from carefully chosen farms that follow strict post-harvest handling to minimize mold growth.
-
Storage & Transport – Beans are kept in optimal low-moisture conditions from farm to roastery.
-
Lab Testing – Every batch is independently tested and certified free of:
-
Mycotoxins (including ochratoxin A & aflatoxins)
-
Heavy metals
-
Mold & yeast contamination
-
This isn’t a “once in a while” check - it’s part of our standard operating process.
