Roast for the Roar!

Saving jaguars? Seriously?

Yes, seriously. Because we believe:

Enjoying exceptional coffee and making the world a bit more sustainable doesn’t always require dramatic compromises.

And even if you're not exactly a (big) cat enthusiast, perhaps the prospect of a new temperature record in 2024 might concern you?

Here in Berlin, we love to be vocal about how hot the summers—and even the Aprils—have become. As the temperature rises, we treasure our Iced (Oat) Lattes, probably as much as you do..

Now, imagine enjoying your coffee not just chilled to perfection but also served with the satisfaction of having contributed to a good cause. Lovely, right?

If big cats, rising temperatures, and Iced Lattes aren't really your thing, then perhaps the quality and taste of your daily cup of coffee are.

With 'Bloody Good Coffee', compromise is a word we simply don't entertain.

We also refuse to settle for 'just any coffee from Latin America' as the foundation of this project.

We seek coffee that is produced holistically, in harmony with nature and the local community, by people who appreciate the diversity and value of Costa Rica's ecosystems, demonstrating how sustainable coffee business can be conducted.

With Hacienda Sonora, we've partnered with those who truly walk the walk.

We want to have the project coffee available permanently! The mission is to establish, enlarge, regenerate, and protect areas encompassing El Paso del Jaguar.

'Roast for the Roar' is for everyone!

Especially for those among you who:

Especially for those among you who:

• ... cherish their daily cup of coffee.
We intentionally offer two varieties to cater to both the slightly fanatic 'Specialty Coffee Lovers' and the pragmatic 'Fuel me with some bloody good caffeine' folks!

• ... are concerned about the climate crisis yet feel overwhelmed by the challenge of making a meaningful impact.

• ... agree that the climate crisis is not cool but are not ready to sacrifice their personal comfort or indulgences.

• … are simply fans of leopard prints*.

*Turns out 'jaguar print' isn't quite at thing yet, to our disappointment.

Because making an impact has never been easier:
Just drink the coffee you already enjoy every day. But better.

By choosing our coffee, you play a crucial role in preserving Costa Rica's natural landscapes and its diverse wildlife. Especially the jaguars.
And that's wildly important because:

• "The jaguar has already lost half of its original habitat, ranging from North America to Argentina. It has become extinct in Uruguay and El Salvador."
(Continental Corridor for Jaguars, n.d.)

• "If the decline in the jaguar population continues, it could lead to the extinction of hundreds of species across the American continent."
(International Fund for Animal Welfare, 2020)

The jaguar is not only an unarguably majestic animal, but plays a crucial role in maintaining the natural food chain and is an integral part of a balanced ecosystem.

And if you’re still wondering:

What do healthy ecosystems in Costa Rica have to do with me here in (insert wherever you are)?

Costa Rica's forests play a vital role in carbon sequestration, thus contributing to the mitigation of climate change, meaning the forests are our best allies in the climate crisis.

No matter where you are right now, chances are quite high that your country too experiences the severe impacts of climate change. For us in Germany, these impacts are most noticeable in the form of weather extremes. These include heatwaves, droughts, and heavy rainfall events. Summers are becoming hotter and drier, leading to water scarcity and crop failures. Conversely, heavy rains and storms cause flooding, damaging infrastructure.

How does the impact look like in your country?

Nobody's personally profiting from your support.

We've calculated that a minimum of €30,000 is needed to finance regeneration efforts impactful enough to make a real difference.

To put it into perspective, with €30,000, we can regenerate at least 40,000 m2 of land.

Of the funds received, 65% will directly support the organisation Humedales Lancaster in Santa Marta.

The remaining 35% will cover artist participation, production, and shipping costs for rewards.
