Svenja Tinzmann: responsibly-sourced coffee tastes better

EPISODE #4

From Bean to Cup: Closing the Circle

The first thing most of us do in the morning is brew a cup of coffee. During the day, coffee gives us a moment to relax or serves as the perfect base for recipe experimentation. Yet, coffee is part and parcel of our life, and we should put thoughtfulness behind everything we do daily–including making coffee.

Svenja Tinzmann, a coffee lover passionate about green living, believes in treating her everyday rituals responsibly. Choosing sustainable coffee is just one of her many lifestyle choices on this path.

Good coffee is fundamental

Many people aren’t familiar with what “good coffee” really entails, so Svenja encourages coffee lovers to start prioritizing the quality of the raw materials. The teacher and urban gardening blogger planted a fruit and vegetable garden on her terrace, a project that has proved eye-opening for understanding the work behind good products; she also applies this approach to coffee. She encourages respect for the raw materials and the people who cultivate them, and she implements this philosophy into her lifestyle by choosing sustainable coffee.
