At Latitude 23.5 Coffee & Tea, sustainability isn’t a buzzword—it’s a commitment. From the moment we source our beans to the final packaging of each roast, we strive to reduce our environmental impact and empower the communities behind our coffee.

In this article, we’ll walk you through how sustainable coffee practices, and eco-friendly roasting methods are helping us brew a better future—one cup at a time.

☕ Sustainable Sourcing: Farm-Direct with Purpose

Our journey to greener coffee starts at the source. At Latitude Coffee, we maintain farm-direct relationships with producers in Colombia, Papua New Guinea, Costa Rica, and more. This allows us to:

• Pay farmers fairly and directly
• Support environmentally responsible farming practices

Many of our partner farms are  Fair Trade Certified, and emphasize:

• Shade-grown methods that protect local ecosystems
• Reforestation and watershed protection programs

🔥 Eco-Friendly Roasting: Small Batch, Lower Impact

Not all roasting is created equal. Our artisan roasting process is designed to be as efficient and clean as possible.

Here's how we reduce our footprint:

• Small batch roasting = less waste and more control over energy use
• Precision roasting software optimizes roast curves to reduce energy spikes
• Maintenance and recovery systems that improve airflow and heat consistency, saving fuel

We continuously evaluate new roasting technologies—like recirculating heat systems and electric roasters—for their potential to lower emissions.
