03/08/2005: "Green Mountains supply of Sumatran coffee following tsunami devastation"

Good news from Green Mountain Coffee Roasters regarding the supply of coffee from Sumatra. Despite the massive earthquake and tsunami that recently devastated the region, their partners at the Gayo Organic Coffee Farmers Association are making fast progress towards rebuilding their capacity to produce high quality coffee for Green Mountain, and their customers.

As you can imagine, life is far from back to normal in Southeast Asia. With approximately 5 million people left homeless in the region, it will take years to recover from this disaster. Green Mountain is doing what they can to help stabilize the area and get their partners back to their livelihood of growing coffee. Green Mountain Coffee Roasters and its employees have thus far donated over $45,000 to relief efforts and will continue to work with non-profit organizations such as Coffee Kids to offer emergency assistance.

Green Mountain thank everyone who purchases their fresh roasted coffee and wants to let you know that with every purchase of Organic Sumatran Reserve coffee you will help the people of Sumatra to rebuild their homes and communities.
