COMMUNITY BLENDS: COFFEE FOR A CAUSE

It's no secret; we love coffee. We care very deeply about it – finding it, roasting it, blending it, and certainly serving it fresh to our amazing customers (at our coffeehouse). 

 ... But that isn't all we're about ... far from it! Beyond our love for the craft, there's another reason we started doing this all: we noticed that fair trade and organic coffee wasn't readily available in our area and we wanted to change that and make it affordable to all who wanted it. As we've said before, coffee is one of the most heavily pesticide treated crops in agriculture, and if people don't have a choice to buy organic coffee, there can be health consequences down the line. And, if we don't consider our impact on both farmers and the environment, as the Fair Trade certification accounts for, we're making coffee an unsustainable privilege rather than a force for good in the world.

We started One World Roasters to make great coffee, but also to make a difference at every level possible, and, now, we're proud to extend that philosophy to our individual coffees. Introducing OWR's Community Blends — A line of limited-batch, one-of-a-kind coffee creations that support causes we care about.

These blends won't be around for long so if you want to help us make a difference and enjoy some fabulous and unique coffee at the same time, be sure to order yours now.

Shoreline Blend 🌊🌊🌊

20% of Proceeds Donated to Clean Up East Haven

September means a clean start—so One World Roasters has teamed up with the amazing people at Clean Up East Haven and ​Save The Sound to help keep the beautiful shoreline we love clean and healthy.

We have worked with the dedicated volunteers at Clean Up East Haven for many years now, helping to promote their annual Beach Cleanups and bringing coffee to everyone who helps out—and each time, we're amazed by the difference they make.​

Organizer George Smith says, "Our big event every September is teaming up with Save the Sound—we have a beach cleanup that we generally have our best turnout for. Last year we collected about 400 pounds of garbage in a 2-hour period."

A little hard work goes a very long way, and George realized this at his first clean up. What was intended to be just a one-off act of goodwill and environmental stewardship, "snowballed," as he puts it, into a passionate community action group, with many cleanup events held throughout the year, as well as drives for the Food Pantry and Connecticut Diaper Bank.​

 
"We are a shoreline community and every piece of plastic or garbage on the side of the road will end up in a stream or in the sound," Smith says. "It isn't just about the trash—it's what it will do when it gets into our waterways and ecosystems. As shoreline residents I think we have a responsibility to help support and protect the sound."

One World is thrilled to be partnering with this incredible organization once again, and you can help us and Clean Up East Haven in this collective mission by purchasing our limited batch Shoreline Blend!

Roaster Says ...

“A sunny ocean-breezed day at the beach—the woody smell of the afternoon stroll on the boardwalk—the cookout on the grill with friends"— the Shoreline Blend captures it all! 

Consisting of medium-roasted Costa Rican and a dark-roasted Sumatra beans, we've created a delightful medium-bodied, smokey, chocolatey coffee with hints of citrus and cedar. These fabulous organic beans, produced in the environment of salty coastal air, will take you to the beach in mind and spirit, even if you can't make it out there in person! ☀️🏖
