Buy your unique loose-leaf tea and help wildlife conservation
The smell of hot tea on a cold day, is there anything even remotely better ? There are various of coffee types, some are bad, some are good but some manually selected tea leaves and coffee beans are just incredible. Certification systems like Fairtrade, Organic, Rainforest Alliance and so on have played a vital role in growing a market of more conscious consumers and the larger corporate organisations have often committed to working solely with at least one of them to fulfil their corporate social responsibility programmes. However, in the last decade or so, we have seen an increasing number of consumers asking more questions of their suppliers. Globalisation is bringing people closer together and the world, it seems, wants greater transparency, traceability and provenance in their purchases.
Our tea pick today : Matcha: Of the many different types of tea, Matcha is a little peculiar. You won’t find matcha leaves—this green tea comes as a stone-ground powder, and is so beloved in Japan that there’s a ceremony centered around how to prepare and serve it. If you see green-tea ice cream, that’s derived from matcha. Sencha: Sencha is also one of the most-popular Japanese teas, but it differs from matcha in that it’s served as leaves, not as a powder, and grown in the sunlight (whereas matcha is grown in shaded areas).

Eco friendly coffee tip of the day : Single serve cups and pods are possibly the most detrimental form of coffee on the environment. The convenience of K-Cups and Nespresso pods has dirty consequences. In 2015, Green Mountain Coffee Co (Keurig) produced 10 billion (10,000,000,000) K-Cups. If you set them next to each other in a straight line, they would wrap around the globe. 10.5 times. In a single year, we wrapped the entire world with K-Cup waste 10.5 times. That doesn’t even include Nespresso and other pod manufacturers. Single serve pods are an environmental nightmare. Not only that, but they are relatively expensive, brew sub-par coffee, and pull you away from experiencing coffee to its fullest. Please, avoid disposable coffee pods at all cost.

They are adorable, curious creatures from Madagscar and need a lot of conservation to help secure their future. Our business donates a percentage of it’s sales to lemur based non-profit organisation(s). Source: https://lynchsbrew.co.uk/.
