Know exactly what
you're drinking.
Every coffee on Brewed is scored across 10 dimensions — from how it's sourced at origin to how it reaches your door. No greenwashing, no vague claims. Just verified, transparent data.
How it works
Each dimension scores 0–2 points based on verified data from the roaster, importer, and producer. Unknown data scores zero — we'd rather show gaps than guess.
The raw score (out of 20) is then mapped to a 0–5 scale using a curve that rewards transparency — even moderate scores reflect genuine effort.
