What's brewing at Montville Coffee Headquarters?
Montville Coffee have been working hard to get a treat ready for our customers in time for the festive season. Read all about it here. We will continue to add videos and photos of the process!
Does buying Fairtrade really help vulnerable children?
On the 20th of November World Children’s Day is celebrated universally to promote international togetherness, awareness among children worldwide, and improve children’s welfare. At Montville Coffee we often consider the rights of the child with the knowledge that we work in an industry rife with exploitation.
Our actions are our future
On the 15th of October World Food Day ceremonies are set to take place all over the world. The World Day Celebration calls for the transformation of agri-food systems to ensure that everyone, everywhere has access to enough, affordable, safe and nutritious food to lead active and healthy lives.
Dads chat about being dads
To reflect on Father’s Day, some of Montville Coffee’s lovely dads had a chat about being a father. It was full of laughs and emotions. We also did this with our mother’s on Mother’s Day and think it’s a nice conversation to document and share.
A cup of coffee and a bit of peace and quiet
Peacefulness is an inner sense of calm that can come in moments of silent gratitude or prayer. It is a way of getting very quiet and looking at things so you can understand them. The 21st of September is International Day of Peace. The United Nations has declared this as a day devoted to strengthening the ideas of peace.
Brew the perfect Sunshine Coast Blend
What we have realised is that our blends are very much loved by our staff members who are intimately equated with them. They have spent a great deal of time and energy making them perfect. Recently I asked Kevin (a Montville Coffee director and Sunshine Coast Blend lover) how he brews his favourite blend at home.
Montville Coffee Staff Discuss ‘Why Fairtrade?’
As Fairtrade Fortnight came to a close last week, our staff took some time to reflect on what it means to us to be part of the Fairtrade movement. It is far too easy to get caught up in the day to day happenings of the workplace and the hard things around us.
Climate Change
Like you, we care about what’s going on with climate change. It’s an issue that can seem so big that it’s insurmountable and you can be fooled into thinking that small acts won’t make any real difference. But we believe it’s up to each of us to do what we can – to recycle, to decrease our use of fossil fuels, and to buy products that are environmentally sustainable.
Choose the world you want.
Since the pandemic, we know that the way everyone sees the world has changed. Research* tells us that two out of three Australians believe that businesses (like us) should be doing more to solve societal problems in tough times.
Why you, the consumer, are so crucial.
By working with Fairtrade farmers and producers, we’re choosing to give people a fair deal. In this short video, Montville Coffee's leaders Kevin Fraikin, Karen Barnett, and Sean McGowan explain why the consumer is key.
Karen's adventure at the Cretaceous Cafe
