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 scores well for its single-ingredient whole-food status and robust Fairtrade and Organic certifications. However, the environmental impact is tempered by the use of multi-material flexible plastic packaging and a degassing valve, which are generally not recyclable in curbside programs. The 340g format avoids single-serve waste but carries a moderate packaging-to-product weight ratio.
