BODY Save The Planet ~ A Conscious Coffee Cause ~ Apr, 1- 30- 2010

Here It Is, My Attempt To Do My Part In Going Green. I Could Use Your Help, Who Knows Maybe Together We Can Send A Message. I 1st Off Say That Everyone Always Talks About How Expensive It Is To Go Green, Kind Of Like Eating Right, And Going Organic. Well Today I'm Going To Put My Coffee On The Line. Most Of You Know That I PAN Roast Coffee, Also To Be Exact About 8oz Per Batch, Which Yields About 6oz.

I Recently Started Offering My Coffee In Jars, As A Way Of Being Earth Friendly, Also Helping To Keep Coffee Fresher Longer. I Must Say I Love The Idea, However It's A Bit Risky Shipping Glass. For My Local Clients It Works Well, Because When Their Coffee Supply Depletes I Get Their Jar And Refill It.This Month (April) Figure I Should Get A Early Start!! I Will Be Testing  A Recycling Method. I Would Like To Say At This Time I'm Also Looking Into Purchasing A Small Coffee Roaster, Which Will Allow For The Expansion Of My Cause.

Currently My Pint Jars Of 6oz Sell For $35. It's The Equivalent Of About 4 Pots Of Coffee Depending On How Strong You Like Your Coffee.Some Question The Price, However From A Price Per Cup Perspective It's Quite A Deal, Not To Mention, My Beans Are Hand Crafted PAN Roasted,There Is A Bit Of Art ,Skill & Time Involved, Most Of All My Love And Passion 4 What I Do. I'm Not Here To Be A Salesperson, Only To Fill A Need If There Is One. I Believe In My Cause So I'm Going To Sacrifice My Time For This.

If This Proves Successful, Once I Get My Mini Roaster My Prices Will Be More Competitive, To The Going Markets Rates So You Can Say I'm Doing 2 Things At Once With My Go Green Save The Planet Initiative. Right Now I'm Going To Be Refilling Used Coffee Bags, Depending On The Success Of This I May Extend It To Plastic Containers. This Cause Is More Or Less To Raise Awareness, Because Honestly I Feel The Big Companies Can Implement This Program More Easily And Readily.We Could All Benefit From Reusing Our Coffee Bags Even If Only 1 Time. As I Said This Is My Cause And I Believe In It.

I'm Going To Offer 2 Programs For 6-8oz Of PAN Roasted Beans With Shipping Included Will Be $20. For 12oz Of Coffee It Will Be $35 With Shipping, Also If You Send 2 Separate Bags I Will Refill Both With 2 Different Coffees.If Ur Feeling Really Green Send 3 Bags N $50, I Will Not Only Supply 8oz Per Bag, But Will Donate Or Purchase Use $5 Towards One Of My Friends Of Coffee Businesses To Purchase A Gift, Maybe More Coffee, Maybe Something Hand Made, To Do A Giveaway, After The Recycling Is Done. .TBA Subject To Programs/Products Available After The CCC.  Here Is The Good Part And Instructions. For Regular Coffee Bags, You Will Be Required To Wipe Them With A Damp Cloth Inside To Get The Oil Residuals Off. If You Are Using Plastic Containers, Jars Feel Free To Use Soap N Water. I Personally Prefer The Coffee Bags, Because They Have The Degas Valve Already In Place.

I Have A Regular Home Sealer So Coffee Bags Will Be Resealed As Well. I Currently Have 3 Ethiopian Coffee Offerings Yirgacheffe ,Limu N Harrar, On A Note State Your Coffee N Desired Roast. Keep In Mind The Offerings Will Be Based On Availability, But Know You Will Be Getting Some Of The Finest Coffee On This Side Of The Sun.For Some Reason You Don't Write Your Preference ,I Will Take It Upon Myself To Create! Thank You! For Any Questions Regarding This POST, Please Feel Free To Contact Me Directly @ godbod@baristaonduty.com . I Can Invoice Via Pay Pal Or You Can Send Payment Along With Ur Recyclables. If This Posting Interest You, Please Forward To A Friend. Thanks For All Your Continued Support.. Ur BODY Committed To The Coffee Cause ~ |_|Body Go Go Green Send Me Those Empty Bags To Be Refilled!

  1. I love this idea - I also spend quite a bit of time trying to be more green in our coffee business and some parts of it are hard. I love your glass jar - receiving it was a joy with the added benefit being some of the best coffee around!

    Keep doing what you're doing and let me know how I can help!
