Locally, Just Planet backs community initiatives by providing giveaways to help various groups raise funds, with a different cause supported each month, often selected by the team.

Product Reviews by Experts


The Colombian is the tangiest of the blends I tried. The apple is strong and upfront, which makes it especially good on a cold winter morning. It was the most unique of the coffees on the panel for me, and those forward notes would be enjoyable even for a coffee beginner – or a fun, different option for the more seasoned drinkers. I was impressed that these beans come through a Fairtrade cooperative that helps local small farms adopt environmentally sustainable practices, with funds flowing back into education and reforestation. Wonderful end-to-end support.


The flavour profile is excellent, offering a unique contrast between the vibrant green apple notes upfront and the rich, creamy toffee body. Their setup is solid all around, from using 100% organic Fairtrade beans to packaging them in home-compostable bags. It is also great that they supply wholesale coffee in reusable drums to eliminate packaging waste, and quietly support their local community by giving free daily coffee to people experiencing homelessness.


Just Planet’s Colombian coffee beans are absolutely beautiful. I love that they’re both organic and Fairtrade certified, supporting farmers and local communities through more ethical and sustainable trade practices. It’s always lovely to see a brand that combines great quality with a genuine commitment to people and the planet. What I love most about Just Planet is that their care for people and the planet goes well beyond the coffee itself. From sourcing organic, Fairtrade beans from small-scale growers to supporting community and environmental initiatives, there’s a genuine sense of purpose behind the brand. I also really appreciate their efforts to reduce waste through compostable packaging and reusable systems. It’s always lovely to see a brand that combines great quality with a meaningful commitment to positive impact.
