Coffee Club...
April 2008, Wharton, TX.
For over ten years we've been finding America's best small batch roasters
and sending their best to you, but we've never seen a roaster quite like the
one we have selected for you this month. This month, in honor of Earth Day,
Better Beans and you are helping with a bit of frog-saving. Seriously! And
who better to show us the way than
Tree Frog Coffees of Wharton, TX.
Roast master-owner Janet Goings is
a former teacher turned eco-friendly roaster. In making her career change a
few years ago, Janet found that sustainable coffee farming fits her belief
system. Sustainable farming is where coffee farmers grow their coffees under
the rainforest canopy, clearing only enough of the underbrush to plant the
coffee trees. Ecosystems are not only maintained, but relied on to protect
and grow the crops. It's a harmonious relationship.
And where do the tree frogs come
in? Janet, passionate about environmental concerns, explains that tree frogs
are acutely sensitive to environmental problems, akin to the canary in the
coal mine. Frog species are disappearing daily, indicating problems such as
global warming.
The good news is what's good for
the tree frogs is ultimately good for us. This is why Tree Frog Coffees buys
100% certified coffees, only those meeting the standards of being
organically produced, shade grown, or bird friendly.
Not only is sustainable farming
better for the frogs, says Janet, it's better for our entire ecosystem,
including us. Drink up, and save the frogs!
