Whether at home or in the office, we should all be drinking only sustainable, ethical coffee.
Coromandel Coast is a producer of ‘shade-grown speciality coffee’ from India, whereby its product is grown under shade and harvested in a sustainable way that promotes forest growth, which means it is conserving forests and helping local farming communities.
Traditional coffee plants require shade to flourish, but modern coffee crops have been bred to be sun-tolerant (in order to increase yields) and have led to the razing of forests to make way for commercial plantations.
Shade-grown coffee such as this, then, is a sustainable solution that gives both coffee drinkers what they want and leads to the protection of forest habitats. Coromandel Coast also gives 10% of its revenues to rural projects in India, Africa and Southeast Asia, and avoids single-use plastic.
Its coffee is available as beans, or in other formats including French press, Moka pot and Aeropress. It also sells Brew Kits, in both filter and pour over formats.
