Twisted Leaf is the beverage brand generating environmental and social impact. Here’s how.
Twisted Leaf is the world’s 1st producer of blended beverages made from coffee leaves – an interesting pioneering ingredient and a superfood, which is typically burnt. Moreover, their activity means a completely new source of income for smallholder coffee farmers in East Africa, and strengthens sustainable trade and circular production. The result is an alcohol-free refreshing drink, containing natural caffeine.
A Creative Way to Upcycle Coffee Leaves
By using the coffee leaves, Twisted Leaf is promoting the consumption of a completely overlooked and wasted food, which is indeed a natural by-product. Most importantly, their activity provides a much-needed secondary source of income for millions of coffee farmers, that can help solve the underlying reasons to structural poverty for smallholder coffee farmers. The best part is – by upcycling the coffee leaf one create an incentive for smallholder coffee farmers to cultivate their coffee trees correctly which further increases the yield output and quality of coffee beans.
