ABOUT THE INITIATIVE

Roasting great coffee, and drinking it, gets us out of bed in the morning at Blackstar. Being passionate about all things coffee-related means we not only enjoy creating great coffee experiences, but we’re serious about our responsibility to the coffee economy. We know that the cost of coffee production is much more than monetary, with land clearing and unsustainable farming practices, such as mono-cropping, in overseas regions. We're also aware that east coast Australia also has one of the highest rates of land-clearing in the world. That’s why we are doing what we can to create a coffee economy that enhances our communities and our planet, through the Coffee For Trees initiative. By linking our micro-choices to real-world social and environmental responses, we can make a positive difference. Each kilo of coffee we sell contributes to planting three trees, with Trees.org and Landcare Australia. Once you get your hands on a satisfying Blackstar brew, what more do you need? Peace of mind, that's what.
