DOING OUR PART

We brew high-quality coffee which is inextricably impacted by the quality of the environment it is grown in. We are passionate about iced coffee from; the plant to the farmer, to production, to the consumer. We fully understand that sustainability is a lifestyle and continually audit our business in search of greener choices. Our goal is to offset the ecological impact of our business and also make our planet healthier for generations to come. We enjoy the coffee that we have and so we concentrate our efforts to ensure future generations can enjoy the same.

Compost Nashville

We partner with Compost Nashville to compost all of our spent grinds and other workplace-related compostable items. Compost Nashville turns waste into soil, and offers the finished compost back to the local farming community. We support their initiative to reduce landfill waste. Excessive waste rotting in a landfill produces methane gas. Methane gas is a component of the depletion of our ozone layer and therefore global warming.
