The world has lost one third of its forests. Globally, we deforest around ten million hectares every year; escalating climate change, biodiversity loss and community displacement. Trees contribute to our planet in a multitude of ways; cleaning our air and water, creating habitats for wildlife, drawing down carbon, contributing to our wellbeing and creating jobs for social impact. We believe it’s our responsibility to tread lightly and give back to the planet that nourishes us, which is why we proudly sell coffee that plants trees.

The IPCC suggests that reforestation and forest conservation alone could account for up to 30% of the solution to keeping to the Paris Climate Agreement of keeping global warming to 1.5 degrees. Aside from the invisible benefit of reducing carbon in the atmosphere, our tree farmers have noticed their lands have become visibly greener and dry springs have returned.

Education is a huge part of climate action, but it’s also a massive privilege. Our co-founder, Andrew, has been working for over 15 years in Timorese communities and teaching about climate change implications and the importance of trees to maintain life and maintaining biodiversity. With this knowledge, tree farmers are empowered to earn an income and contribute towards building a better world for the next generation.
