First: The Beans
We source our beans from Camano Island Coffee Roasters because they only purchase green, ethical coffee beans that are USDA Certified Organic and Shade-grown. USDA Certified Organic guarantees safety from harmful pesticides and the numerous health and birth defects they inflict on the coffee farmers and their families. Shade-grown coffee guarantees bird habitat, soil preservation, and the protection of the Rain forests – earth’s lungs!
Second: The Price
By only purchasing ethical coffee that is fairly traded, we partner with you in giving a fair wage for a beautiful product. The difference is in enabling farmers to provide food, clothing, shelter, and an education for their children.
Third: Giving A Hand Up Not A Hand Out
Buzzbox partners with Agros International, a Seattle, WA based non-profit that assists responsible coffee farmers in purchasing their own land through low-interest or interest-free loans.
Fourth: The Biggest Factor In Generational Change — You
That’s right, you are the most important component for lasting change. By supporting only ethical coffee that’s Certified Organic, Shade-Grown, and Fairly Traded, you preserve the environment and prevent human poisoning from pesticides. By supporting ethical coffee that’s fairly traded, you know coffee farmers receive a fair wage — that’s life-altering. There’s power in your dollar — Use it!
