Gift Idea: Land Rover Coffee

Land Rover Coffee? 

Really? 

Yep.

Well...   ...cool!

Land Rover Coffee is an independent business formed in 2005 and officially licensed by Land Rover.  Land Rover Coffee is built on the storied heritage of Land Rovers used in coffee production worldwide.

The story begins in 1949 when some of the very first Land Rovers Series I's found their way to Costa Rica. The impact these vehicles had on the lives of Costa Rican farmers was immense.  Land Rovers enabled them not only to be more productive but also to plant and harvest at higher altitude.  Planting at high altitude is key as this is where the best estate coffees come from. Throughout the 1950's and on, Land Rovers became the vehicle of choice in other coffee producing countries such as Kenya and Jamaica. Now, fast forward to 2005, and Land Rover Coffee brings you high quality Fair Trade  coffee - and does it with class for both wholesale and retail customers.

Land Rover itself has placed a lot of emphasis on sustainability and becoming a "greener" and socially responsible company.  Land Rover Coffee shares these goals.  Not only do they provide Fair Trade coffees, but Land Rover Coffee is committed through their Land Rover Coffee Foundation to continuing the good fight -- from their web site:

Sustaining Communities and Conserving the Environment

A philosophy that goes right back to 1949 - Land Rover Coffee is committed to community sustainability, conservation and quality. So you can enjoy our coffee in the knowledge that the people who produced it are enjoying the benefits.

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do, from ensuring our growers get a fair price for their products and protecting the environment in which our products are grown, right through to establishing long-term relationships with our retail partners and you the coffee drinker.

Working with organisations like Fairtrade, Rainforest Alliance and organic accreditation bodies, Land Rover Coffee is helping communities across the globe build a sustainable future. In Costa Rica, where our story began Land Rover Coffee is supporting InBioparque - an innovative conservation group that promotes biodiversity, through recreation and education.

As we continue to grow, you can help us to deliver more and more of our ethical vision."
