More About Purely Drents

PUUR Drents is located at Nijlande 10, 9452 VB Nijlande, between Assen and Rolde. The company is registered with KvK number 66215358 and establishment number 000034859136. The trade names PUUR Drents and Training- en adviesbureau Sebraine Meijerink are registered.

Available information shows that PUUR Drents has been active since 2018. The organization combines small-scale day activities in Drenthe with the sale of freshly roasted coffee and loose-leaf tea. These products are packaged for both consumers and businesses. A separate origin story as a coffee roastery with named coffee founders is not publicly recorded.

Social background and organization

At the heart of PUUR Drents is a social model focused on day activities and workforce participation. The emphasis lies on fostering a sense of belonging, providing tailored support, encouraging autonomy, and combating issues such as social isolation.

Activities are tailored to the talents, backgrounds, inspiration, and capacities of the participants. In practice, this includes packaging coffee and loose-leaf tea. Consequently, the coffee operations are part of a broader social structure for day activities, rather than existing solely as a commercial production environment.

Sebraine Meijerink and Kristo van Achterberg are listed as the key figures involved. Meijerink brings experience from education, care farms, his own training agency, and the organization of Paard & Erfgoed. Van Achterberg has experience as a residential and vocational counselor at various care organizations and is also involved with Paard & Erfgoed.

Coffee roasting and processing

According to documented information, PUUR Drents roasts coffee once a week in a small-scale roastery. There is no public information available regarding the roasting machine used, the brand, capacity, roasting software, or a formal roasting philosophy.

The post-roast processing is clearly defined. Beans or ground coffee are weighed, bagged, sealed, and labeled. The roast date is also included. Once packaged, the products are sent to customers or points of sale.

Publicly available information mentions packaging sizes of 250 grams, 500 grams, and 1000 grams. The coffee is available as whole beans or ground for filter or espresso. This makes the offering practical for various brewing methods, although specific technical brewing guides are not publicly detailed.

Coffee Selection

The documented coffee selection consists of a single product: Yellow Bourbon, with model code PD-K001. The coffee is identified as Arabica and single origin. The profile descriptors list Mocca, Soft, and Mild, with the intensity also categorized as Mild.

Yellow Bourbon is publicly described as a medium roast. Blends, decaf options, subscriptions, or a broader assortment with multiple origins are not publicly documented on the coffee category page. For readers, this means the available information is primarily centered around this one single-origin coffee.

Origin and Supply Chain Information

The origin of Yellow Bourbon is Brazil, specifically the Cerrado Mineiro region. The product information also notes that the beans are semi-washed. The specified growing altitude ranges between 800 and 1,300 meters.

The product text refers to the Cerrado coffee growers’ federation, noting that this federation comprises approximately 3,500 farmers. Names of individual farms, cooperatives, exporters, or importers are not publicly recorded in the available information.

Information regarding certification remains limited. The product page states that the federation strives for coffee that is grown socially, fairly, and economically. This is a product statement rather than a publicly documented independent certification.

Sustainability and local distribution

The most concrete sustainability information relates to the social structure and local delivery. PUUR Drents mentions that packaged coffee and tea are delivered to customers by bicycle. Local delivery is limited to a 6-kilometer radius around Nijlande.

No public documentation regarding other sustainability aspects was found in the provided materials. There is no information included concerning CO2 reporting, waste policies, composting, recyclable packaging specifications, or measurable environmental goals. Coffee-specific certifications are also not documented.

Sales, pickup, and presence in Drenthe

PUUR Drents sells via its own webshop. Orders can also be picked up at the address in Nijlande. Public pickup hours are Monday and Thursday from 10:00 to 16:00.

Additionally, it is mentioned that tea and coffee are available at twelve locations across Drenthe. Examples cited include De Balloohoeve, Koken en Tafelen, Aspergeboerderij Hoorn, Streek Assen, Echte Bakker Pots, Hof van Saksen Noordermarkt, Welkoop Marwijksoord, and Museum De Proefkolonie.

A separate shop page lists points of sale in, among others, Anloo, Assen, Balloo, Frederiksoord, Huis ter Heide, Nooitgedacht, Orvelte, Rolde, Smalbroek, Zuidvelde, and Nijlande. That page labels the overview as points of sale for tea.

Terrace, events, and professional visibility

A permanent café or a dedicated tasting room is not publicly documented. There is, however, a physical pickup address. During the event De smaak naar meer, it was reported that PUUR Drents prepared coffee or tea on its own terrace.

PUUR Drents has also been mentioned at local events. The organization was listed as a participant in De smaak naar meer and as an exhibitor at the DVHN Lentefair in De Tuinen in Frederiksoord. RondOm Vandaag mentioned PUUR Drents in 2024 as one of ten care organizations that collaborated on Paard & Erfgoed.

Coffee prices, mentions in major international specialty coffee media, cuppings, barista workshops, roasting workshops, or coffee competitions are not publicly documented in the available material. The resulting image is that of a local organization where coffee production, sales, and social day activities are interconnected.
