Greenhouse gases, waste, water consumption: When it comes to ecological sustainability, coffee consumption is often questionable. The cultivation, transport and packaging of coffee have negative environmental impacts. But that's all over with TUNAP! Since August of this year we have only used YOANDA coffee beans to ensure more sustainable coffee in our offices. And our #CoffeeLovers love it!
Why did TUNAP choose YOANDA?
The sustainable coffee roastery YOANDA, founded in Wolfratshausen in 2022, offers fair trade coffee beans from carefully selected fincas. Attention is paid not only to the taste quality of the beans, but also to the cultivation and processing methods as well as the social structures of the farms.
A resource-saving approach to nature, an appropriate infrastructure for employees and harvesters as well as the focus on on-site quality management are of the utmost importance for YOANDA. YOANDA thus obtains the high-quality coffee beans as transparently, sustainably and fairly as possible.
The coffee producers benefit the most from this close and long-term cooperation. Transparency is very important to YOANDA and so they provide consumers with all the information on the origin of the coffee and the corresponding plantation on their website.
Through the cooperation with YOANDA, TUNAP supports sustainable coffee cultivation in which the producers are paid fairly. Sustainability goes even further by TUNAP sourcing the YOANDA beans in 2 kg containers, with empty buckets being exchanged for full containers instead of being thrown away. This also saves on waste.
In addition, people with and without disabilities work together at YOANDA in a pleasant working environment. In this way, participation and joy in working life is created for people with a mental disability who have little or no chance on the general job market. Inclusion is a priority here. TUNAP is pleased to be able to make a contribution to sustainability and social participation through the cooperation with YOANDA!
Why not try YOANDA coffee for yourself?
Each and every individual can take small steps in everyday life to have a positive impact on the environment. Obtaining sustainably grown and fairly paid coffee beans can be one of these steps. Would you like to promote a conscious approach to coffee, help coffee growers in the countries of origin to grow high-quality coffee and also support an inclusive roastery? Then be sure to take a look at the YOANDA range.
If you live near Wolfratshausen, you can also enjoy a coffee directly at YOANDA and let the taste convince you. And by the way: TUNAP employees receive a 10 percent discount on all types of coffee at YOANDA.
