Why Our Coffee Tastes Good and Does Good: Our 1% for the Planet Pledge
Share
At Brewtay Coffee, one of our guiding principles is "Do good, feel good, drink good."
It’s more than just a catchy tagline; it’s our non-negotiable mission. The "drink good" part is easy to taste—it’s in every bag of our specialty grade, ethically sourced coffee. The "feel good" part is that moment of pure comfort when you take your first sip.
But what about the "do good" part? How can a simple, daily ritual like a cup of coffee actually make a difference?
We believe it's not just possible; it's essential.
Coffee's Deep Connection to the Planet
Here’s the simple truth: coffee is a gift from the earth. It is an agricultural product that depends entirely on a healthy planet to thrive. The nuanced, delicious flavors we love in a single-origin bean are the direct result of a specific climate, clean water, and rich, volcanic soil.
As a company that relies on these precious natural resources, we feel a profound responsibility to protect them. We believe that ensuring great coffee is here for the long term means we must be active stewards of the environment that creates it.
For us, "doing good" isn't a marketing angle; it's a core business requirement.
Why We Chose 1% for the Planet
When we decided to turn this belief into tangible action, we wanted a partner that was accountable, direct, and globally impactful.
That’s why we are so proud to be members of 1% for the Planet.
So, what is it? 1% for the Planet is a global movement and a "smart solution" that connects businesses, individuals, and vetted environmental nonprofits. As members, we have pledged to donate 1% of our total annual sales—not just our profits—directly to these high-impact organizations.
It’s a simple, no-nonsense promise. It’s an easy-to-understand commitment that goes directly to the front lines of environmental action.
This is Where You Come In
This is the best part. By choosing Brewtay Coffee, you become part of this movement, too.
Your daily cup of coffee becomes an effortless act of environmental stewardship. That bag of Bourbon Barrel Aged coffee you bought as a gift? That recurring order of Fairtrade® Colombia that gets you through the week? A percentage of every single one of those purchases goes directly to organizations dedicated to:
- Protecting our forests and wild spaces
- Fighting for clean air and water
- Promoting sustainable, regenerative agriculture

When you brew a cup of Brewtay Coffee, you are casting a vote for a healthier planet. You are doing good simply by drinking good. And that, we think, should make you feel good.
