World-Positive Coffee in Sydney

September - December 2019

Australia consumes more than 1 billion cups of coffee annually and hosts one of the world’s burgeoning coffee cultures. Despite this passion for caffeine, however, there are large flaws across coffee’s supply chain. In Sydney alone waste streams from coffee put more than 108 million tons of spent coffee into landfills annually, while in Uganda farmers producing coffee are not paid a fair wage for their crops. Kua is a social enterprise that seeks to provide world-positive coffee to workplaces in Sydney Australia, addressing social issues with a small brown bean that links people across the world.
