LETS TURN THE WHOLE THING UPSIDE DOWN
Its all about whats left of the remaining 1% of the coffee grown in pristine ecosystems. High quality exquisite coffee recognized internationally as the best on the planet.
Iām asked if its realistic to believe that this remaining 1% can meet the worlds coffee needs. Of course not - considering the other 99% (not grown sustainably) is one of the heaviest traded commodities, the 1% wonāt meet the worlds needs.But, there is no time to waste.. by making the choice to only support coffees (and other shade grown foods/commodities) and saving the remaining 1% - perhaps we can change the world. Whoās to say whatās impossible, and with each new day I can feel a change. Even the big coffee companies understand that their practices of supporting coffee grown in deforested environments are causing global climate change and they are starting to āadd backā trees in an attempt to continue the ability to even grow coffee in an ever changing and hostile climactic environment.
I want to turn the whole thing upside down. Weāll keep sharing this delicious and earth friendly ācoffeeā model and keep perhaps weāll turn the whole thing upside down together . Or, if you are like some of my friends who choose to buy our coffees just cause they taste fantastic - that works too!
