Finest organic quality since 1979.
The Lebensbaum tea, coffee and spices come 100% from ecological farming.
They are convinced that this sophisticated form of farming is a rerequisite for high-quality, natural food. But it is about more than this: with every product sold, the number of fields farmed organically increases. They are thus promoting a form of agriculture that understands how to preserve our natural resources while producing foodstuffs of exceptional quality.
Lebensbaum buys at the place of origin, because quality has roots and want to accompany the creation of products from the very start. They see supplier relationships as long-term quality-based partnerships. Together theye shape the entire value chain from the field, via the processing in our production facility, all the way to the finished product ready to sell. Business management understood in this way creates lasting value and is beneficial for everyone involved. Putting all modesty aside, they like to call it the food economics of the future.
For nature and mankind
A company is only worth anything if it keeps nature in mind and serves people. We have been inspired by the idea of ‘nature and people’ since the company’s founding and it is only right that this is reflected in our company logo.
100 % ORGANIC
To our mind, finest organic quality permits no compromises. The raw ingredients we work with are therefore 100% organic, in the majority of cases grown in accordance with the ecological guidelines of growers’ associations such as Demeter, Naturland and Bioland. Organic farming does not use any chemical or synthetic pesticides or fertilisers. Instead it stimulates plant vitality. Healthy soils, especially high-altitude locations or protective shade trees are prerequisites for the quality of our organic raw ingredients and protect the local eco-systems.
NO FLAVORINGS
Since 1979, at Lebensbaum the purity principle has applied: no added aromas, no flavour enhancers and no additives. Quite the contrary: it is our aim to preserve the choice quality of the gently grown raw ingredients through careful processing and to refine them using well-honed recipes.
NO GMOS
We rigorously oppose genetic engineering. It constitutes an irreversible intervention by man in natural cycles and endangers biodiversity. Genetic engineering also undermines established farming structures and thus makes many farmers economically dependent on individual companies. That is not compatible with our values.
STRICT QUALITY CONTROLS
Complete supply chain transparency, from field to finished product, forms the basis of our quality work. The demands we make of our suppliers go way beyond the statutory requirements. As part of our IFS-certified quality management process, Lebensbaum products pass through a defined schedule of checks every step of the way. All chemical and microbiological analyses are carried out by well-known, accredited laboratories.
CLIMATE FRIENDLY
Since 2010, our production facilities have been running on a carbon-neutral basis. Heating is provided by one of Lower Saxony’s highest-capacity geothermal power facilities and throughout the entire business the electricity used is 100% green. All company buildings have above-average insulation. All letters and parcels are sent by a carbon-neutral postal service and raw ingredients are transported by ship. The list of green initiatives is a long one and is constantly being extended.
The raw materials used by us are, without exception, grown according to the principles of organic farming. The result is that the people who supply us believe and trade in natural cycles. There is practically no waste; everything serves renewed fertility. The focus of this informed type of farming is healthy, nutrient-rich soil.
