Have you ever stopped to consider the journey your morning cup of coffee takes before it reaches your lips? At FigBrew, we believe that every step of this journey matters, from the seed planted in the soil to the aromatic brew in your cup. Join us as we trace the path of FigBrew’s sustainable sourcing practices, rooted in our commitment to ethical and environmentally friendly production.
Cultivating Consciousness: The Foundation of Sustainable Sourcing
At FigBrew, sustainability isn't just a buzzword—it's a way of life. From the outset, we've made it our mission to create an option to traditional coffee from a single upcycled ingredient with a much lower impact on the environment. We source our ingredients and packaging with care and consideration for the planet. FigBrew believes that by cultivating consciousness at every stage of the process, we can create a product that not only tastes great but also makes a positive impact on the world around us.
The Remarkable Fig
Figs are part of a Mediterranean diet and have been grown in that region for thousands of years by workers who earn an honest wage. Coffee is grown in an narrow temperate band around the equator which unfortunately is where the world's largest rain forests are found. For this reason, planting coffee trees almost invariably means reducing the rain forest. One coffee tree produces on average 1.5-lbs of coffee beans. It's estimated that each cup of coffee consumed requires the destruction of one square inch of rain forest. Figs, however, can grow just about anywhere and at any altitude with each tree producing 10-20 lbs of figs in a growing season. It takes 1/8th the water footprint and 1/13th the carbon footprint to make a cup of fig coffee compared to traditional coffee.
But the fig's most remarkable characteristic is that it enhances the flavor of whatever it's mixed with. That's why you don't have to wonder what FigBrew's Beanless Coffee Supplement mixed with your favorite coffee tastes like - it tastes like your favorite coffee.
