your MORNING routine is ABOUT TO GET a whole lot better. And tastier.
The coffee beans in our new botanically-charged coffee blends come from small, fair trade/direct trade Regenerative Organic Certified family farms throughout South America...which sounds cool and all, but really, it’s just a fancy way of saying that every time you take a sip of our coffee, you’re helping good people do good things because they’re being paid a premium for their crops. By purchasing our coffees through co-ops like SOPPEXCCA, AMUCC, and others who support Fair Trade/Direct Trade Certified programs, we (my roaster and I) are committed to things like:
funding interest-free revolving credit lines to help farmers meet short-term cash flow needs, upgrade farm equipment, & support organic programs
building schools and educational programs so that children in farming communities are able to get an education rather than spend their days working as unpaid labor on family farms
helping to improve economic diversity & sustainability in coffee growing communities by teaching skills such as beekeeping, creating farmer's markets, & cultivating backyard gardens
developing sustainable food programs to keep families and children in farming communities well-fed and nurtured year-round, especially through "los meses flacos"..."the thin months"
empowering women-owned organic farms to become profitable enterprises in countries experiencing social, cultural, & political upheavals
protecting the cultivation of coffee in lush mountainous jungles & nature reserves that are refuges for wild animals & plants
And that's just a small taste of what it means to buy our beans. We strive for every single ingredient in every one of our products to be - at a bare minimum - organically grown and Fair Trade Certified. Additionally, all of our medicinal mushrooms are 100% organically grown fruiting body extracts ONLY...no cheap, inferior grown-on-grain mycelium, or fillers - ever. If you don't know why that matters, read this.
In short, we understand that the strength of the supply chain is only as healthy as its weakest link - which is why Astro Botanico is committed to sourcing all of our ingredients, packaging, and labeling with exceptionally high standards in order to benefit the health of the farmers, their families, & the communities they live in, as well as the health of the plant, the health of the planet, & ultimately, the health of you. We're pretty confident no other functional coffee company even comes close to our standards of excellence.
And with the release of our two new functional coffee blends, you’re helping to complete the circle of sustainability from crop to cup...sip by satisfyingly sustainable sip.
