Add Water, Give Water®
Recognizing that processing coffee and tea requires a significant amount of water, we donate to support clean water initiatives in developing countries throughout Africa, Asia, and South America.
While researching the coffee industry, we learned that coffee processing produces a large amount of water waste.
Our goal is to expand access to clean water in developing countries.
As an emerging player in the coffee industry, we recognize the gap where in some places water is used for manufacturing, while in other places there is not even clean water for drinking. While we encourage our suppliers to save water, we also donate a percentage of our profits to clean and safe drinking water initiatives.
Access to clean drinking water affects every aspect of life.
For example, health, wealth, education, equality, and much more. Currently, about 771 million people in the world live without clean water. That’s more than twice the population of the United States! This is why we started our “Add Water, Give Water” program.
We proudly donate to
