      In celebration of the 50th<\/sup> anniversary of Earth Day, take a virtual field trip to Costa Rica to meet some of the agronomists and farmers working to address the effects of climate change, disease and diminishing natural resources on coffee farming. They want to ensure your coffee cup \u2013 all of our cups \u2013 stays full well into the future<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/body>\n\n

      Most coffee drinkers will tell you that coffee, especially in uncertain times, is more than a beverage.<\/p>\n<\/body>\n\n

      A cup of coffee can represent comfort, stability, a respite \u2013 a taste of normality, especially in a world that currently feels anything but. It represents much the same to the people who grow coffee.<\/p>\n<\/body>\n\n

      \u201cI have coffee for breakfast, at noon, at 2 p.m., and at night I have another cup. It\u2019s like one of my daily meals,\u201d said Ana Mendez, laughing. She and her husband farm coffee on several small plots in Costa Rica.<\/p>\n<\/body>\n\n

      She said she often thinks of the people around the world drinking the coffee they grow.<\/p>\n<\/body>\n\n

      \u201cI would want to tell them behind every cup of coffee there is sacrifice, there is work, there is hope, and there is love,\u201d Mendez said. \u201cThere is so much love.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/body>\n\n\n

      Yet coffee is at a bit of a crossroads. There are more coffee drinkers in the world than ever before, but each year, climate change, disease and diminishing natural resources can make the business of coffee farming more and more difficult. In 2013, Starbucks purchased a coffee farm in Costa Rica called Hacienda Alsacia to better understand these challenges, and to look for solutions. Since then, the farm has become a global hub of research and discovery \u2013 discoveries the team there hopes will help coffee farmers all over the planet and the ongoing challenges they face.<\/p>\n<\/body>\n\n

      In celebration of an unusual Earth Day this year, but one on which the world is uncommonly united in purpose, join us on a virtual field trip to Costa Rica, where you can meet some of the agronomists and farmers working hard to make sure your coffee cup \u2013 all of our cups \u2013 stays full well into the future.<\/p>\n<\/body>\n\n\n
