The partnership with Oritain brings together critical resources and expertise for origin verification, supply chain, quality control and product development.
Coffee Enterprise’s partnership with Oritain.
Coffee Enterprises does not sell coffee & tea - they test coffee & tea. They are an independent company providing consulting services, product testing, and food safety chemical analysis for coffee & tea products.
Their team specializes in the evaluation and improvement of coffee and tea throughout the global supply chain from producers and traders to manufacturers, private-label brands, and foodservice operators.
Through this they provide insights to assist clients in making informed decisions in managing their beverage program by addressing practical issues from a scientific perspective.
Oritain uses scientific testing to measure a product’s stable isotopes and trace elements and verify its origin. By running this data through statistical models, Oritain can produce an “Origin Fingerprint” that is then used to test subsequent samples as they move through the supply chain.
Any samples that are inconsistent with the Origin Fingerprint are identified as having potentially been adulterated.
Traceability like no other.
Oritain’s unique methodology applies forensic science and data to detect naturally occurring elements in a product or raw material. Soil composition, climate, altitude and other environmental factors all reveal the details of a product’s origin - which we call an Origin Fingerprint.
Once we’ve created an Origin Fingerprint, it can be used to audit our clients’ products at any point in the supply chain - to clearly differentiate the legitimate from the fraudulent.
