Unleashing the Power of Sustainable Coffee in 2024 & Beyond

Coffee Connects Us All

There’s something magical about how coffee has this unique way of bringing people together. Whether it’s that first energizing sip in the morning, the quiet moments of reflection with a warm mug in hand, or gathering with friends over a shared love of good conversation and great coffee, we all have special rituals tied to it.

At Sumato Coffee, we’re driven by the belief that these moments can be even more meaningful when they contribute to something larger.

Since our beginning in 2017 and continuing in 2024 and beyond, we’ve been deeply committed to sustainable coffee practices—so that every cup you enjoy does its part in protecting the planet and supporting the communities that make your coffee possible.

What Does Sustainable Coffee Mean to Us?

To us, sustainable coffee isn’t just a label—it’s a way of doing business that honors both the environment and the farmers who grow our beans. It’s about making thoughtful decisions at every stage, from the way the coffee is farmed to how it’s packaged and shipped. Our goal is to ensure that enjoying your favorite brew doesn’t come at the cost of the planet’s health or the well-being of the farmers who make it all possible. Sustainable coffee means doing right by the earth, by the people, and by you.

Our Commitment to Sustainability

Eco-Friendly Farming

Since we launched, we’ve partnered with farmers who share our values. These farmers care deeply for the land, and together we’ve adopted practices that respect the ecosystems where coffee is grown. By utilizing organic methods and avoiding harmful chemicals, our farmers promote healthier soil and cleaner water sources. Coffee grown in the shade of native trees not only creates exceptional flavors but also helps preserve biodiversity. This kind of mindful, eco-friendly farming ensures that our coffee-growing regions will remain vibrant for generations to come.

Fair Trade and Ethical Practices

At Sumato Coffee, we’ve always believed that great coffee begins with the people who grow it. That’s why we’ve supported fair trade and ethical practices from the very start. By building relationships directly with farms, we make sure that farmers are paid fairly for their hard work and are able to maintain safe, ethical working conditions.

It’s more than just good business—it’s a way to give back to the communities that are the heart of our coffee supply chain. We want every cup of coffee to reflect not only great taste but the care and dedication of the farmers behind it.

Reducing Waste

Sustainability doesn’t stop at the farm. It continues all the way to your cup. At Sumato Coffee, we’ve committed to using eco-friendly packaging, made from recycled and recyclable materials. We also encourage our customers to bring their own reusable cups whenever possible.

We even repurpose our used coffee grinds—many of our customers compost them, giving back to their own gardens and local ecosystems. It’s a small but meaningful way to reduce waste and keep sustainability at the forefront of everything we do.

Energy-Efficient Roasting

Roasting is where the magic of flavor happens, and we’re making sure it happens responsibly. Our roasters use energy-efficient equipment, carefully designed to lower our carbon footprint while still creating the rich, bold flavors that have become synonymous with Sumato Coffee. And we’re constantly exploring new ways to reduce our energy consumption because sustainability isn’t just a part of what we do; it’s at the heart of everything.
