True North: 100%

Balzac's Coffee Roasters maintains a strong domestic profile with a True North score indicating high economic retention. While the nature of the industry requires global sourcing of raw materials, the capital, strategic control, and value-added manufacturing are all located in Canada.

Green Score: 27/100

This product features a high-complexity multi-material flexible plastic bag that is difficult to recycle, though it avoids the high waste of single-serve formats. It excels in ingredient purity as a single-ingredient whole food and carries premium environmental certifications including Fairtrade and Bird Friendly. The packaging weight is standard for the industry, but the laminate construction remains the primary environmental drawback.
