A good cup of coffee or tea is warm and invigorating. But it’s even more satisfying when you buy your coffee or tea from a company dedicated to making a difference. If you live in North America where you cannot grow coffee or tea, then the only way to get them is through trade.
When we engage in long-distance trade, the social and environmental implications are usually invisible. But it’s worth wondering: Is the farmer being paid properly? Is the ground being nurtured sustainably? Are the people throughout the entire process being treated fairly and kindly?
If you are like us, you want a good cup of coffee and you want to promote good in the world too. Feel good about your java by purchasing from a certified B-Corporation. B-Corps are companies who meet stringent social and environmental requirements, giving consumers confidence that their purchases have growers and our planet in mind.
Whether buying for yourself or as gifts, you can make a difference the next time you buy your coffee. B-corps are a great way to shop with a positive impact! To help you get to know these companies, we selected a few of our favorite certified B-Corporations. Enjoy your next cup!
Here are a few of OPL’s favorite certified B-Corp brands:
