Style Café Ltd.: Supporting a Safer Coffee Supply Chain on INTERNATIONAL COFFEE DAY 2023
Whilst we don’t sell or supply coffee beans, they’re integral to our business.
Our Remidag grinders would be pretty useless without a hopper full of beans. And our Biepi coffee machines’ durability would never get tested if they never got around to actually making a cup of coffee.
In honour of International Coffee Day, we'll delve into how we’re supporting a safer global coffee industry.
The Essence of International Coffee Day
Let's start with a drop of background. Why do we even have an International Coffee Day?
More Than Just A Beverage
Our businesses work within the coffee industry where coffee is more than just a drink that kickstarts our days. Coffee isn't just a beverage; it's an economy, a culture, and for many across the globe, it’s a livelihood.
Addressing the Challenges
From climate change to unfair labour practices, the coffee industry faces numerous challenges. International Coffee Day is more than a celebration; it's a call to action, demanding a safer and more sustainable supply chain.
Your Support: Why It Matters
A Beacon in the Coffee World
Whilst we don’t do beans (we do the machines and equipment), by supporting this year's International Coffee Day's mission, we’re echoing their dedication to a safer coffee supply chain.
From Bean to Mug: A Commitment to Safety
We all love stories, right? Imagine one where each coffee bean is treated with care, ensuring every sip of coffee across the world is a result of ethical and safe practices for the vast number of people who deserve to earn an income relative to the importance and value of their crop.
The Farmer's Tale
Our story begins in a lush coffee farm. For farmers, it's more than just crops; it's their blood, sweat, and dreams. Ensuring their well-being is the first step to a safer supply chain.
Middlemen and Markets
After leaving the farm, the beans travel through various hands. Middlemen, traders, and markets. Each step needs transparency and safety to ensure a cup of coffee that’s both delightful and ethically produced.
The Path Forward: Ensuring Safety in the Chain
Embracing Technology
From farm to cup, technology can play a pivotal role. Be it through traceability apps or sustainable farming techniques, it's about pioneering a future where coffee doesn't just taste good but feels good.
Building Relationships
For a chain to be strong, every link must be robust. By fostering relationships from farmers to consumers, we can craft a coffee industry that's both prosperous and protective.
A Toast to the Future
As we raise our mugs this International Coffee Day, let's celebrate the potential for a safer and more fare international coffee trade – a vision already wholeheartedly embraced by all of our customers. It's their vision and drive that’s steering the coffee industry towards a brighter and safer tomorrow.
