Last updated on October 25th, 2023 at 14:52

Making healthy choices has obvious benefits and those choices should be made in all aspects of your life, including when it comes to seeking out organic hazelnut coffee.

Coffee contains a number of toxins and artificially flavored coffee adds to that. To be fair to coffee, there are a number of health benefits with regular coffee. Obviously, these are improved when enjoying organic coffee and detracted when using coffee that is artificially flavored.

Keep reading as we dig down and detail organic hazelnut coffee.

What Is Organic Hazelnut Coffee?

Organic coffee, like all organic food, goes through a stricter process than regular food as they need to prove that it has not been cultivated and grown with pesticides, insecticides, chemical fertilizer etc.

When you buy organic hazelnut coffee, you are unlikely to find anti-freeze in it! Unfortunately, anti-freeze is an ingredient used in artificial flavoring oils for flavoring coffee – some 85% of the oil is made from propylene glycol.

Organic hazelnut coffee uses real food or a real food extract. They simply grind down the fresh hazelnuts and add them to the freshly roasted coffee beans, which then absorb the aroma and flavors of hazelnut.

When organic vanilla coffee is made, or organic French vanilla, the same process is used. They simply split and chop the vanilla pod and add it to freshly roasted beans and then leave them for 12 to 24 hours to take on the flavor.

Lifeboost are dedicated to providing high-quality organic coffee that is toxin free and, better still, they are low in acidity. What is great is this company is dedicated to using the healthiest processes and maintaining all the flavors and aromas.

The coffee is clean, organic, shade-grown and single-origin from Nicaragua. It’s medium roast, with a rich creamy hazelnut flavor with a toasted flavor. I have no idea of the origins of the hazelnuts they use, but I can testify that the flavor of delicious hazelnuts comes through brilliantly.

To maintain their flavor and freshness, the beans are hand roasted in small batches using a slow roasting process. The result is a very bold coffee with caramel and chocolate tones with touches of fruitiness mixing perfectly with the appeal of hazelnut flavor.

#4 Organic Coffee Company Hazelnut Coffee – Best Artisan Option!

The organic coffee company is an artisan roaster and likes to specifically work with smaller coffee farms, family owned, and call it “growing their family”.

It is a Hazelnut Crème coffee which is flavored using 100% natural German hazelnuts, with smooth vanilla cream added. It makes for a rather fantastic hazelnut delight with the cream and sweet flavors coming through and goes perfect with the coffee, regardless of the brewing method. It works particularly well with your French press as it does with a moka pot.

I suggest that you use your espresso machine to brew a decent hazelnut espresso.

The natural hazelnut flavor comes through very well and, oddly, appears to be accentuated by the coffee flavors.

#6 Java Trading Company Organic Hazelnut Ground Coffee

Testing this in my fav brewing method, the French press, I noted a rich creamy body, and a very notable and enjoyable nutty aroma. The best taste is produced when you use filtered water, or better still, distilled water.

Skip the coffee mate versions and other non-natural products as they use chemical-based artificial flavorings.

Organic Decaf Hazelnut Coffee

Sadly, Organic Decaffeinated hazelnut coffee is hard to find, literally impossible to find. I could only find a single reference to one while searching on 4 different search engines and a variety of social networks and video sites.

The only reference was to a site selling organic hazelnut coffee that has a site design stuck in the 1990s’ and has not been updated since 2009.

I am not at all convinced this brand still exists and is still in business.

If you find or know of a quality organic decaf hazelnut coffee that is Swiss water processed, shoot us a line on social media or use our contact page – we will happily try it, mention it and help coffee lovers the world over to get the coffee they want.
