In recognition of Earth Day, which is coming up on April 22, 2015, we’re going to take a look at some eco-friendly businesses in the Orange County, CA area. Today, we’re heading to Tustin, CA to highlight a great, local business that utilizes green business practices – The Lost Bean. Located in Tustin, CA, with an Anaheim location opening soon, The Lost Bean Organic Coffee and Tea is committed to using organic products as often as possible and practicing environmental sustainability.
At the Lost Bean, you won’t find stale food and beverages made with artificial ingredients. Everything on the menu is made fresh from scratch each day in the Tustin shop, and the beans are also roasted in the shop. The coffee beans are certified fair-trade, sourced from all over the world. In addition, the Lost Bean takes the extra step to make sure the beans they purchase are 100% organic, certified to be Non-GMO beans and grown without the use of pesticides, fungicides or chemical fertilizers.
This Earth Day, make sure to pick up bags of beans to brew coffee at home, or purchase specialty coffees, blended drinks, juices, and freshly brewed coffee or tea in the shop. When you make a purchase at The Lost Bean, 30% of the company’s profits are set aside to support charitable organizations both globally and in the Tustin community, a win for both you and the environment.
While you’re purchasing drinks for yourself, pick up an extra bag of coffee or tea for faraway friends and family. Then, head over to one of the Tustin PostalAnnex locations for help with packing and shipping your bags of tea and coffee. At PostalAnnex, the friendly professionals can compare rates between UPS shipping and FedEx shipping to help you find the best rate and service.
