Orang Utan Friendly Coffee: A truly ethical coffee
Sustainability is a huge issue with global coffee farming.
With some of the finest coffees in the world coming from some of the most remote locations on the planet, it is important to ensure that the farmers are using ethical methods to not only grow their beans, but ensure their immediate environment is not damaged affecting their future crop propositions.
For many farmers, wildlife is not usually an issue when considering how and where to grow their coffee.
