We started One World Coffee 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 OCWR's Community Blends — A line of limited-batch, one-of-a-kind coffee creations that support causes we care about.

MORE THAN JUST A BEAN BLEND

We're so excited to announce our new community coffee blend in partnership with Community Dining Room!

Our "More Than Just A Bean" Blend has been curated with CDR's mission in mind. This incredible not-for-profit organization provides food, support, and companionship to the shoreline communities of Connecticut. We chose the beans for this blend that would come together to create a rich flavor, but also whose farms echo the mission of CDR.

This holiday season, support our local communities by purchasing a 1lb bag of our More Than Just A Bean Blend. For every bag purchased, 30% of all proceeds will go directly to CDR.

To purchase an 8oz bag below, please select Free Local Delivery if you're located in New Haven County. If not, please select + $2.50 to cover shipping costs. Thank you for supporting Community Blends to make our CT Shoreline community healthier and happier!

The More than Just a Bean Blend name is an ode to the Community Dining Room slogan, "More Than Just a Meal". When you purchase a bag of our limited batch More Than Just a Bean Blend, you're doing more than purchasing a bag of coffee. You are directly supporting individuals in our CT shoreline communities.

CDR is not simply just a food pantry. They have created a support system for our community that recognizes how deeply hunger and isolation impact people. In addition to feeding the community, CDR has developed a multitude of other initiatives including physical/ mental health & life skills workshops, a diaper program, and much more.

COMMUNITY coffee: A story of good

It's no secret; we love coffee. One World Coffee Roasters 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.
