As the war in Ukraine continues, a humanitarian crisis is unfolding. BBC News looks at our project, TRAMPOLINE, that helps refugees get back on their feet through hospitality training and employment, enabling them to come off benefits and to get their lives back. #refugeesupport #training #employment #ukrainecrisis

They live by a commitment to People, Planet, and Profit: - Fair Trade: They generously pay coffee farmers three times the Fair Trade price, ensuring a fairer livelihood. - Regenerative Farming: They prioritise sourcing beans from farms that practice regenerative agriculture, nurturing our planet for future generations. - Community Investment: They invest an impressive 65% of their profits back into local community initiatives, fostering growth and support where it’s most needed. Old Spike Roastery is deeply committed to combating homelessness in the UK through empowering individuals with training and employment opportunities in the specialty coffee industry. So, no matter which TRAMPOLINE Café you visit, you can feel good knowing that your choice of coffee is not just about enjoying a delicious drink - you are part of a compassionate movement that is actively making the world a better place. #coffeeroasters #socialimpact #fairtrade #community #trampoline

We're stoked that major mainstream restaurants Wagamama and Wahaca have been stocking our teas at their restaurants across the UK over the past year. Being plastic-free, compostable and made in the UK from renewable energy, our teas are helping the food service tap into a massive consumer trend – paying more for sustainable products. According to a recent report by PwC, almost 9 in 10 consumers are willing to pay more for sustainability, What’s more, some consumers are willing to pay 9.7% more for goods that are environmentally friendly. Some deciding factors include: ·       Locally-sourced ·       Made from recycled or eco-friendly materials ·       Produced with a lower carbon footprint Diners are increasingly savvy about sustainability - what other sustainable products can the food service industry shout out about? We’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments below. #sustainability #restaurants #local #consumers

This week we had the pleasure of attending the City University fresher's week fair, where we held an exciting tea tasting pop up. We thoroughly enjoyed connecting with students, sharing our passion for sustainability, and showcasing our different tea blends which embody our commitment to ethical sourcing. It was a joy to engage in meaningful conversations about the values that drive our work.   A huge thank you to Graysons and City, University of London for inviting us to attend the event – and to all those who stopped by! We hope you loved our teas as much as we enjoyed sharing them! #PopUpEvent #TeaTasting #Sustainability
