It’s World Environment Day, a day to encourage awareness and worldwide action to protect our environment.
At Union, the environment and our impact is put at the core of every decision we make.
We work with producer partners who share our values and sharp focus on sustainable practices. With the release of two very special microlot coffees soon, we wanted to tell you a little about João Hamilton. João is a Brazilian coffee producer who we have been working with since 2010 through the Fazenda Ambiental Fortaleza (FAF) network of farmers. FAF are champions of sustainable and environmentally friendly farming practices. João is on a mission “to make the best coffee in the world”, which is evident through his constant experimentation on the farm. This ranges from altering drying bed designs, harvest techniques, and tweaking processing methods. Over recent years, João has made changes to his farming practices, focused on delivering high-quality coffee through the most environmental means possible.
