In recent years, there's been a growing movement in the coffee industry regarding mold- and yeast-free coffee. Some companies are using this as a marketing tactic, charging upwards of $30 for a 12oz bag while making bold claims about their coffee being free from these contaminants—without providing any real evidence to back it up.
At The Lawman Rub Co, we believe in transparency and delivering the highest quality coffee without unnecessary hype or inflated prices. As a small, family-owned business, we take every step to ensure our coffee is fresh, safe, and handled with care.
What Are Mycotoxins, and Should You Be Concerned?
Mold and yeast can sometimes lead to mycotoxins—naturally occurring toxins produced by fungi in warm, humid conditions. These toxins can develop in grains, nuts, and even coffee beans if they aren’t properly stored or handled.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has identified several types of mycotoxins, including Aflatoxin, Ochratoxin A, and Patulin. In large amounts, they can cause health concerns, but the reality is that trace levels of mycotoxins are found in many everyday foods—and in most cases, they are well below harmful levels.
While some companies use fear-based marketing to push “yeast- and mold-free” coffee, the truth is that proper sourcing, handling, and roasting eliminate the vast majority of any potential risk.

-
We Source Directly from Farmers
We buy fair-trade coffee beans directly from trusted farmers, ensuring that we know exactly where and how our beans are grown, harvested, and processed. -
Strict Handling & Storage Practices
Our coffee is stored in a way that prevents spoilage, and our entire production process is routinely inspected by local, state, and federal agencies to ensure top-notch quality and safety. -
Third-Party Lab Testing
We didn’t just take someone’s word for it—we sent samples of our Medium and Dark Roast coffees to an independent microbiology lab specializing in coffee testing. The results? No detectable mold or yeast in our coffee. We have the official certificates to prove it.
No Gimmicks, No Inflated Prices—Just Quality Coffee
