COFFEE FIX : Coffee - Changing the World

BREWTOWN COFFEE COMPANY

LONEHILL SHOPPING CENTRE

Jason and Cezanne Zeeman have bought into the Roast Re:public the concept of ‘giving’. The idea is actually quite simple. They use the commodity of coffee at their coffee shop in Lonehill as the currency of Roast Re:public, the gold standard if you will. This commodity is used to fund education for the most vulnerable children.

“Education is the most powerful weapon you can choose to change the world.” – Nelson Mandela

Coffee is sold to individuals and communities and then 50 % of the gross profit is allocated to a small community in Limpopo in partnership with World Vision International (WVI), a fund that specifically goes towards aiding and enabling education. WVI is one of the largest NGOs in the world and a trusted, transparent partner in all social justice matters.

I was told when I purchased a cappuccino at Brewtown, Lonehill Shopping Centre that by purchasing one coffee this equates to funding a day of school for a child!

Now that most definitely helps to change the world!

In the long term, Roast Re:public wishes not only to aid in educating the most vulnerable children, but equipping and training farmers to grow better quality beans, thus translating into bigger profits for their green beans and better living conditions.

THE purchase of COFFEE, with your help, sustains children's education

WVI is a relief, development and advocacy organization dedicated to working with children, families and communities to overcome poverty and injustice. Globally, WVI supporters currently sponsor 3.4 million children in almost 100 countries with over 54 000 children supported in South Africa. WVI has over 50 years’ experience in delivering quality, child-focused, community-based, transformational development programs. It is the largest privately funded international relief, development and advocacy charity in the world.

They chose World Vision South Africa because of the great sustainable work they do around our country and even beyond its’ borders. Chosen for being one of the top transparent and reputable institutions locally and internationally.

The coffee

The coffee blend has been specifically chosen for maximum flavour and to ensure that coffee fanatic citizens enjoy a surprisingly delightful cup with every brew! Sold as an amazing blend in various sizes, as either ground coffee or whole beans.

The current blend is from the three different coffee producing regions: Tanzanian, Guatemalan and Indonesian. Roasted to a medium roast, to maximise the flavours of each individual bean. In the cup, you should expect a medium to full body with a polite citric acidity. Fruity notes with a dark chocolate finish. Also perfect for home brewing!
