Coffee for Clean Water
By Moka Joe
// May 05, 2009
Moka Joe and Atlas Coffee Importers have created a new coffee to benefit the The Clean Water Foundation (www.cleanwaterfoundation.com) The proceeds of the sales of “Coffee for Clean Water” will go to purchase portable water filtration systems to be installed in our coffee communities around the world. Two million children die every year from unfiltered water. Moka Joe, Atlas Coffee Importers and The Clean Water Foundation want to make a difference in the lives of our coffee farmers and their families. If you get a chance check out the documentary FLOW (http://www.flowthefilm.com/trailer) to learn more about our global water situation. You can also donate directly to www.cleanwaterfoundation.com. The picture below is of Trudy Scherting, owner of Moka Joe, and Leon McLaughlin, President of The Clean Water Foundation. They are cupping the coffee to be used for this project in the cupping lab at Atlas Coffee Importers in Seattle, WA.
