ABOUT OUR PRODUCTS

What makes Rockin’ Cat different from other coffee and tea brands?

Everything.
 We start with Certified Organic and Certified Fairtrade ingredients by default, use ultra-low-impact processing & packaging methods, operate as a carbon neutral business, and craft everything using the highest quality standards.


Are all Rockin’ Cat products really Certified Organic?

Yes. 
Organic is our standard. No exceptions. No shortcuts. No greenwashing.

Are your coffees Fairtrade Certified?

Also yes. Farmer welfare is not optional to us.

Do you use plastic?

Nope.
 Our packaging is 100% compostable.

Is your coffee “specialty grade”?

Yes. Always.

ETHICS, SUSTAINABILITY, & IMPACT

What certifications does Rockin’ Cat have?

We are USDA Certified Organic, FLO ID Fairtrade Certified, Bird Friendly® Certified, and a 
Certified B Corp.

Are you a Certified B Corp?

Yes. We operate according to B Corp principles — accountability, transparency, environmental stewardship, equitable practices — and our business decisions are structured around those values.

Why are sustainability and ethics so important to Rockin’ Cat?

Because the world deserves better products, farmers deserve fair treatment, and the planet deserves companies that don’t treat sustainability like a buzz word or passing trend. We believe in helping to design a future people will be proud to live in.

What is your carbon footprint?

We have committed to ultra-low-impact operations, the exclusive use of renewable energy (our production facility is 100% verified wind powered), near-zero waste practices, and we are carbon neutral, using Gold Standard Off-sets.

How do you support farming communities?

Our Fairtrade Certification ensures fair wages, safe conditions, stable pricing, and community development in areas where there otherwise wouldn’t be protections.

COFFEE BREWING, STORAGE, & USE

What’s the best way to store your coffee?

In an airtight container in a cool, dry place — away from light, heat, and moisture. Bonus points if it’s a beautifully designed container. (We’re biased.)

Do you offer different grind options?

Our coffee is sold in whole bean form in order to maintain peak freshness. We recommend grinding just prior to brewing.

What brewing methods do you recommend?

Any method that brings joy. Our FTO Single Origin beans shine in…

• Pour-over (Pulsar, V60, Kalita, etc.)

• French press

• Espresso

• AeroPress

• Classic drip machines (yes, we said it — great beans make great coffee)

ORDERS & SHIPPING

Where do you ship?

In the lower 48 States, with flat rate shipping on every order. We ship fast, we pack responsibly, and we treat your order like it’s a beautiful piece of art (because it is).

Do you offer subscriptions?

Many of our organic coffees & teas are available as subscriptions from shop.rockincat.com.

COMPANY & PHILOSOPHY

What does “The Kindest Coffee, Tea, & Espresso” mean?

It refers to the company’s belief that the products that we produce and sell should be created in a way that is the least negatively impactful to people and the planet, while still being great tasting and ultra-high-quality.

That is…

• Kind to the planet

• Kind to farmers

• Kind to your body

• Kind to communities

• And kind to your taste buds

Why the name “Rockin’ Cat”?

It’s a tip-of-the-hat to our rock ’n’ roll roots and our completely different approach to the way in which we do things. And because the World needs more fun. Well made, ethically produced products can be bold, creative, and full of personality — not beige and boring. ”Rockin’ Cat” reflects our belief in joy, good design, creativity, and what we’ll refer to as ‘ethical rebellion.’
