TrueStart Coffee
Say goodbye to jitters and energy dips thanks to Truestart. This B Corp is behind the world’s first range of controlled-caffeine coffees, designed to give you clean, feel-good energy. Choose from strong, smooth, low-caf or decaf in the form of barista coffee bags, grab-and-go cold brews and more – all made to keep your energy consistent and crash-free.
Every batch is sourced from the same trusted Colombian farms they’ve partnered with for over a decade. It’s air-roasted for a smoother taste and independently lab-tested to ensure the caffeine release stays steady – with no mycotoxins or heavy metals.
But it’s not just what’s in the bag that matters. Truestart is proudly carbon-negative, selecting and supporting environmental and social initiatives that remove, avoid and offset 120% of their previous year's carbon footprint. These include reforestation projects, soil carbon capture schemes and clean energy access for communities in the likes of Indonesia, India and Colombia. They’re also partnered with Cycle of Good to upcycle their waste into handmade goods that help end poverty in Malawi.
At home in the UK, Truestart supports Magic Breakfast, fuelling school breakfasts for children at risk of hunger. Their TrueStart Legs Programme mentors grassroots changemakers. And if you’ve ever joined Mental Health Swims, Truestart might have been the warm cup waiting onshore, as they fuel these feel-good gatherings too.
TrueStart’s planet-friendlier blends are proof that you can fuel up while feeling good knowing that your brew is doing good too.
Husband and wife duo Helena and Simon Hills launched TrueStart in 2015 after struggling to find a coffee that gave them a consistent, clean energy boost. Helena’s background in endurance sport made her especially aware of the effect of unpredictable caffeine – and how it could hold people back instead of powering them up.
Their solution? A new kind of coffee, with reliably controlled caffeine and no compromises on taste. Since then, they’ve steered TrueStart into a joyful, mission-led business that’s about far more than energy alone. Together, Helena and Simon have built a bold, ethical brand that supports wellbeing, community and environmental change with every bag of coffee beans or cold brew.
